[ATM] Betr.: Hercules v2.0
Dan,
congratulations with your first light v2.0
Version 1.0 was still the Oldfashioned K/B design
But your new version immediately put it on the frontier of modern
telescope making.
It is an amazing achievement: 41 inch with only trhee poles and six
wires.
And the altitude bearings! Wonderfully sophisticated creations
And of course congratz with the little one. Yvonne. She looks very
fine.
There was a long radio-silence from you on this forum. Last thing we
heared was the wife being pregnant.
Usually, a newborn baby means that nocturnal activity shifts away from
astronomy.
Therefore it is a surprise to see you have done such a complete
rebuild
Best regards and good luck to you all.

Hi all,
Just an update to the list on my 41" scope that most of you are
probably
familiar with. It has been completely redesigned and rebuilt. Last
night was
"first light" for the new design. The only parts that are the same from
the
old design are the optics and the secondary holder. I hope to have new
pictures soon but some of the new mount are on my webpage. The major
changes
are all metal construction, two ring rotating uta, string technology
with 3
tubes and 6 strings, flex rocker design, new PLOP designed 27 point
floatation cell with silicone attachments, and an ultra low profile.
The
scope has lost nearly 2 feet in height and about 150 pounds of weight.
I
also have built a "transporter" for it to move it around. Many of you
on the
list have helped me out here and there, so thank you! I hope to make
OSP,
and maybe see some of you there.
