[ATM] two mirror folded newtonian

["McHatten, Shawn" <Shawn.McHatten@aliant.ca>]

Hey Guys
	Been away from the list for a while so apologize if this has
come up recently. 
	Our Centre has recently acquired a 2in thick 12.5in f8 mirror.
We are looking at building a truss tube scope out of it but a normal
Newtonian design will push the Zenith observing height to around 8ft. A
little high for our liking. I suggested that we look at the folded
design that I have seen a couple of you working on. 
	Did a quick wander through google, our archives and the ATM ring
and only found one hit with two mirror folded Newt. Most involve a three
mirror (primary, secondary, and tertiary) design. If anyone has worked
on the two mirror folded design can you drop me a line with URL if you
have a website up. 
	Not even sure if this is considered a "folded" design since all
we are doing is positioning the secondary at something less than 45
degrees to push the eyepiece down the OTA but that's what I've seen you
guys refer to it as. 

Thanks
Shawn
