ATM Bino-Scope Update

["James" <jlerch1@tampabay.rr.com>]

Hi guys,

I Finally found the time to take some pictures and put a web page up on the
nearly completed Bino-prototype.  I say prototype, but it might actually end
up being the finished product once the kinks are worked out.

Direct link to the page is http://lerch.yi.org/atm/proto.htm

So far I'm very satisfied with the images,and tomorrow the mirrors will be
silvered, just in time for the local Mars Star party this upcoming weekend.

After silvering, the only thing left to do is paint the remaining parts (if
I don't do it soon, it may never get done!) then build a cover to put over
the mirrors to help prevent tarnishing and physical damage, and to make a
baffle system.

Then of course it gets bartelized, then CCD, then...... BIGGER? :)

Take care,
James Lerch
