I've been an Amature Telescope Maker for over 25 years.
I would like to introduce you to my newest baby. I call her Ocham's Razor
because I used that principle to cut off the unessentials. That makes her lighter than any scope I've made. Baby is a Minimalist Dobson. She turns on alt/alz mounting at
present, but an equitorial platform is abuilding. It's taking longer to build than the
scope. Both Poncet and Shaw have great ideas......I'm trying to combine then into a
platform I can use for short length photography. Any comments you have would be welcome. You can contact me on the ATM List most any day...and get a free weather report! Just follow the little green bird to see pictures.....
