Good page. It makes me wish that I could start now. Luckily I wont have to hog mine out as deep since I want to go with an f/10. One question I have is why do you use a flat for the optical secondary instead of a parabolic 8" mirror? I did like the method he used to keep from turning the edge of the 8" mirror. I am sure that I will need to make both of the big mirrors. I will buy the 1.8" diagonal mirror. For the next couple of weeks I am trying to finish the 16" scope from last year. We are building the box and the cradle tonight. I really want to have it done for Dead Horse Point. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Hards [mailto:chuckhards@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 4:07 PM To: Utah-Astro Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Dave's folded Newt project Dave, have you seen this yet? http://www.kitgear.com/25%20inch%20plans.htm C. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
