Fabulous scopes!

The last thing I want to do it pour water on such wonderful equipment but I remember seeing a guy in America with a 46 inch I think it was, he must be able to sleep in his, placed it in the garden and use the roof to view from.

Great scopes.

Sure that's not a tiger Quaoar?!!!

Would I be right in saying they are money trees in the back ground ? Great collection and interested to see you have a similar truss design on the 18" to sky-watchers although I am sure far more refined.

Now that's cute! Never seen one before.

I love it - Ed Ting's reviewed one before = http://www.scopereviews.com/page1w.html#1

It even packs away cleverly into its own little drum.

Zambuto mirrors are legendary !

Some fabulous scopes in this thread. It's really NOT a good antidote to aperture fever though

[estwing]

I'm definitely doing the lottery this week! As you say John this just isn't the right thread for a weak purse string!

[avtaram]

I know it's only a 12" Revelation but I love it.

At home in the summer house.

i was realy enjoying this thread untill someone put that pic up of the 28" webster, god darn it

[Chris]

Lots of great scopes on this thread

I put this little one together a year ago using an Altair 150p f/5 OTA. The idea was that it would be practice before building a larger truss Dob but that didn't happen.

Now Dobless I'm off to boost moral for the frac clan with a 'show me you frac' thread   

[deepspacehunter]

This is the SAME TELESCOPE that started the thread...

I have painted it....

I like BLUE TELESCOPES...

Dobnificent Mapstar! 

[Chris]

That thing makes the Moonlite focuser look like an Ant!

[Stu]

Amazing scope Damian!

Where is it now, can you say?

[mikeobrien]

Damian that scope is a thing of real beauty complimented only by the mug with a star on it in PIC 2.

[mapstar]

Amazing scope Damian!

Where is it now, can you say?

It's locked up in a garage somewhere in Huddersfield although I think the owner is having it motorised

I look forward to seeing it again probably at Kelling heath later this year where hopefully it will share the skies with its smaller sibling (if I ever get this mirror finished!)
