What a legend! Builds a replica Alvan Clark and a Unitron weight drive and puts them together?! Wow!

I have met Dave more than once and have been to his house and seen some of his creations. An amazing man to say the least.

It's been sometime since Dave's last telescope video.
I was going through withdrawals, but now I got my fix back. The Alvan Clark replica is beautiful and keeps with tradition.
Thanks Dave

I love his rationale for building his "semi-replica Alvan Clark" with a Unitron weighted drive, "I did it because it was a fun thing to do." Priceless. Just like Dave. Cheers.

He has a new video up of an Astro Optical R-51, a 50mm f/15 on a tiny, fully functional equatorial mount.
