Some say, that I can only get happy with large scopes.
To prove this false, I made two 6.6" scopes for my nice and my relatives in
Greece using the 2 paralel bar design from Albert Highe.

See the twins:

Found any bad or unclear English? please let me know.

I miscalculated the point of equilibrium point for the upright position
(tricky Excel sheet) and had to counterbalance the heavy finder with 1 lb.
steel sheet at the opposite side of the axis. Secondly the cut out of the
rocker front board is not deep enough and stays in the light path at below
12° height. Ok, who will watch the grasshoppers?
