I've never gotten this link to work. I get, "The site you requested could
not be found".

Is there another link than the one below?

Thanks,
Jack

Hello everybody,

Here is my latest completion, a lightweight 12', f/d 5,  travel dob, 20
pounds, all included.

Easy to carry in a bag, for airflight or a trecking in the montains.

I tried to make it as light, compact and minimalist as possible. I will call
it : "La libellule" (dragonfly).

 Please note some particular points;

- When disassembled, all parts are put together in a "hat box", 42 cm
diameter, 12 cm height.

- The ring base is used as a mirror box.

- The lightweight, low profile and simplified spider,

- The lightweight helical crayford focussor (60 g),

- The truss fixations: made in duran, with double articulation.

- The ring  flex rocher and ring base system.

In the pictures, the dobson is shown on a very low profile and simplifiedc
equatorial platform (4 cm height).which is still waiting for a drive.

All details and pictures, as well as pictures of other dobsons I made,  are
here on my web site:
