Frank, awesome sketch. Who is the maker of your dob?
MathTeacher,
Thank you.
All my telescopes are home made. I hand ground, polished and figured the primary mirrors in my scopes. I have completed 12 scopes over the past 35 years and still 5 I regularly use from 3" to 18" in dia.. The others I have given to friends and relatives.
