ATM Telescope Report

["Asaf S.-T." <asaf@maxnm.com>]

Hi Everybody,

It's me again, Asaf. Some Telescope Report:

I'm currentlly finshing the mount of the mirror box I've built. I found a 
way to connect the tubes to the mirror box, and all of the theoretic 
stuff is way behind me. I basicallt finished the telescope, without the 
optics, but I have some work (glueing, stableing, nailing, nailing, 
gluing, naling, etc.).

My father is in the United States and is buying an anti-dew system for my 
eyepieces, he's also buying me a 1" diagonal, Teflon & Ebony Starr ;-) , 
and he has my mirror. I hope he won't brake it.. He's going to send it to 
a coater in New-York.

Some worries I've got: I'm afraid there won't be balance on the 
side-bearings, since I didn't have a way to check that before my 
calculations, but I think it won't be a problem.

The problem of me getting progress in my telescope is because I need to 
rely on my father and mother (but soon my brother will get driver's 
license and and I'm going to make good use of that :-)  ).

Can you believe it? It's the first time in history something DID come out 
of my nudge. But don't worry, the finished telescope will make my efforts 
and nidges, and Money $-) all worth it.

Thanks, Asaf.
