ATM Another self-built scope to view




  Well, I really should kick myself.  I've had a finished web page for my
rebuilt 10" Dob, available for access by anyone, but I hadn't finished two
small links from that page.  Neither of these links are necessary to view the
main page, they just expand on a few things.  But here's me, thinking that I
_had_ to finish those links before I could announce the address here.
  That was two MONTHS ago.  So much for my motivation.

  The scope was built over the course of about four months.  I took a pre-
existing plywood behemoth and reduced it to a three-tube collapsible design
with some counterweights.  See for yourself:

  All the photos are smaller versions that link to the full-size views.  Just
don't try to link from "A few other notes..." or my name at the bottom.  :)

  I owe a huge debt of gratitude to this mailing list for inspiration and
answered questions.
