[laurent]

onhi 

i show you my 20’´ 

an american love the wooden handle 

you can see where i put my wheelfilter connected with the paracoor . i can change with only one finger 

the structure in X or small triangle is more strong than the big triangle 

i made a 36 points barrel cell   

sorry , it’s in french but not the picture at the end http://laurentastro.unblog.fr/telescope/numero-six/

thanks paul

i m engineer but not in something who can help me to made dobson . 

i love explore new ways in conception , some times it’s work , some times ( for exemple my three last time ) it’s finish in the trash can. 

did you look my little 10’´ ?

Magnifique is the word I think!  Says it all.

Unusual design and applause for trying something different. It is similar in design to a serrurier truss arrangement.

20" with a 36 point cell, is it a thin mirror? And if so who made it?

thanks mapstar 

the mirror is thin 45 mm  : then i need more points : 36 points like mine is more easy than 27 to do ! only one rotation to stop than four for the 27 ! 

i made eazy then lol 

mirror made by nichols optical

That will be a very nice mirror and a joy to use. Thanks for the info Laurent.
