Hi Kim, and thank you!

To be honest the shop is so close to being done that it will be worth waiting just a few more weeks before I do a video or photoshoot. I will post it on this forum when I do, though.

It's also in a degree of disarray at the moment as I'm building some storage units.

My telescope build is a 6 inch f15 refractor (with an Istar objective), so not wide in comparison to a Dob, but it will be eight to ten feet long. I'm not very far into the build but I'll post some pictures when I have something substantial to show.

My main aim was to build a telescope that isn't readily available commercially. I'd like to have built a Dob, but to meet that criterion it would have had to be really big one and the mirror would have cost a lot more than I wanted to spend.

See you again soon on this forum!

Cheers,

gary
