Hi,

The yellow and blue monster is a 1 meter FD3 newtonian and FD16 nasmyth.
It's an amazing telescope.
The primary is 2" thich, better than 1/16 and ultrasmooth polish, secondary
is a 11,8" small axe. Is on a 27 points astatic cell.
The owner, a professional mirror maker, also make the primary visible at :
