Re: ATM Any thoughts on our Telescope Prototype?

Looks like the center of gravity (and everything else) is above the center of
the bearing... Going to have to fix that!

Hello all,

My friend and I have been plugging away at grinding, building and designing
our first scope. Our mirrors are pretty much complete and ready to ship off
for coating. We wanted to be a little adventurous in our design of our scope
structure. We threw together a VERY rough prototype this afternoon and would
love comments, suggestions, and questions as to the feasibility of our basic
design. Thanks in advance for any response/help.
