ATM Making a small dob
Currently I have a 3" f8 refractor that I love using. However, looking
through my club members' larger dobs has made me want something with more
light grasp. The faint fuzzies in the Tak really are faint. I'm thinking of
building a 10 or 12.5" f6 dob. I will most likely build all of the
mechanical components myself and purchase finished optics. My question is:
which optics to buy? My Tak refractor has left me a bit spoiled. The
sharpness and contrast of the optics in it are outstanding. I would like
optics in my dob that come as close as possible to the Tak (hopefully). I
have little experience with newtonians so I really don't know who to purchase
optics from. I would appreciate your suggestions on who makes quality 10"
and 12.5" mirrors.
Thanks,
Jeff Shideman
