[ATM] 12 inch/f5,4 Travel- Dobson

["Stathis Kafalis" <info@stathis-firstlight.de>]

As Ulli Vedder is not on this list, may I introduce you to his just finished
12-inch that weights just 10 kg.

http://www.binodob.de/12_eng.html

The highlights that I like most:
- 25 mm thick borofloat mirror
- Clever wood / aluminum combination with 6 trusses and large alt-bearings
- Secondary fixation that keeps collimation when set up (see the groove in
the secondary platform with the collimation bolts in this picture:
http://www.binodob.de/b_12z/12_6.jpg)
- Secondary collimation with 4 bolts directly against the aluminum plate
(looks very stiff)
- Al- reinforcement od the focuser board
- Collapses extremly flat to fit into a suitcase

The more I look at this scope, the more I like it.
Oh, this reminds me of my finished 14-inch mirror of 21 mm thickness that
still has no housing.
