Re: [ATM] 32" Focal ratio

Well, truth is that I plan on using a 3rd mirror
(diagonal) that will be removable and being
able to use this scope visually when on location.
The mount will be a split ring for which work
has already started.  See pics and 3d rendering here:

There is nothing like the thrill of looking through such a large aperature.
Once you have been there, it is hard to go back.

Your opinion always appreciated,
Scott
