48,9 inches:!!! 
3000 pounds!
Madness. 
But a splendid piece of work this is. Wonderful

Better put some eyeglasses on when viewing M42 from Texas...

Hello everyone

In June of 07 we started a project to build a 48" Dobsonian for Jimi Lowrey
in Ft. Davis TX. Just this week the scope passed some important performance
tests at our shop in Iowa City. I've posted a brief pictorial history of the
construction project to our web site. Here's a link for anyone who's
interested.

I'll add additional text in response to question. We'll install the scope in
April. I'll post photos from the install after I get back to Iowa...
