Do you have any pictures of the dobbie?
I have a friend whose son inherited a 6" f/10 telescope that his grandfather 
made in the 60's.
Stove pipe for a tube and mirror was clipped flat to a piece of plywood with 
no support points.
The secondary was 1 and 1/2 inch prism.

Many a kid and many an hour spent looking thru it.

We are going to work on it and make it kid manageable.
New tube, a real diagonal mirror, and dob mount.

I won't venture to guess which mirror mounting method as yet.

Hey folks... anything constructive going on in ATM land?

.........

I taught him for the first time how to plan and execute a complex
project, he learned that "doing things" are mostly planning, prep work and
patience.  Valuable life skills...

BOTH projects are equally valid and both stand on their own.  One not need
tear the other down in order to be valid.


I'd like see more propping up of each other, share what you know especially
when it is based upon experience instead of what you have read on someone
else's web page.... but do it with humility....
