Help for a fellow astronomer

[umadog]

New Jersey telescope builder Rob Teeter (http://www.teeterstelescopes.com) is applying for a small business grant and needs the help of our community in order to be considered. He needs 250 on-line votes and is currently about 70 short with 2 days to go.

The money would enable his business to go from part time to full time and for him to increase the range of products he offers. Most of us will probably never buy a scope from him (although he does ship abroad) but it's clear this venture is good for the hobby as a whole. So if you have the time and inclination please visit https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com/ then sign-via Facebook (yeah, I know...), search for "Teeter" and vote.

p.s. I have no connection with the connection with the company other than having met Rob once and finding him to be a nice bloke who makes very pretty and high quality telescopes.

Fantastic stuff on his site - second only to the Oddie refractor in the "Steampunk 'scopes I don't have room for" category.

That truss ring thing to split the scope into two sections for a quick set up looks very handy

I look forward to seeing some of those bad boys about soon

Good stuff! Keep voting though. Perhaps the absolute number of votes will count. Can't hurt to have more, anyway!
