Ironic that we spend so much time and end up with a telescope that 
looks
like it could float up into the air!  So we have wire spiders and wire
trusses - how far can we go?

     Mel Thanks that's another good idea from you.  Since I've had one
low back surgery and need another for the 9mm bulge in my L3 disc, a
floating telescope would be the ticket for me.

     I just saw that wire secondary Jan made from one of your designs
and that is the way to go!  I also saw the wire frame telescope that
won that price at the riverside contest and really like it.  although I
wonder what the weight difference is bewteen aircraft cable and
aluminum tubes ?  I seems to me the tubes would be lighter? 

    Thanks
