Hi Allister,
I keep getting this rather cryptic error message when I try to access the article:
"Incorrect key file for table 'views'; try to repair it"
Could you look into this?
Thanks!

Wonderful article Harvey, well worth the slight bump when I first tried to read it! That TMB 130 f/9.25 is simply fabulous! Thanks for your time and effort to bring us this excellent review!

Gorgeous job, Harvey. Looking down the tube especially, it's a really beautiful job you did. More professional than I've ever been able to pull off. I'm swearing off making any more telescopes, much easier to just order them  It was fun.

Harvey--
As a fellow TMB nut, I thought your review was excellent! I hope that the review I plan to write on the TMB 203 f/7 turns out as well.
Cheers!

Guys,
Thanks for the nice comments! I didn't realize this section even existed or I would have responded sooner.
Yes, the optics are definitely amazing in this scope.
And Mike, you've made some fabulous looking scopes and I'm sure they were every bit as good as this one. This was my 'one and only' project like this..... I think. It surely is much easier to simply buy the complete scope.
