"Excalibur"
With "Guinevere" now under the care of OzEclipse and the Bino-TSA project nearing end, it is time once again to look forward to a Autumn/Winter project...
To that end I was fortunate to recently buy 'mch62's Dobsonian and although the scope was solidly built it was never going to fit into my chariot without some major design changes........
The new scope will feature:
Suchting Precision Optics 18" F3.54 Primary Mirror
Astrosystems 4.5" ma 1/10 secondary mirror (Focal Length 63.7" or 1618mm)
Starlight Instruments Feathertouch FTF2015BCR 2" focuser
Starlight Instruments SIPS Coma corrector
Astrosystems Heavy Duty Type III Spider
Astrosystems Secondary holder
Moonlite Truss Clamps
Custom 18pt mirror cell/tailgate
and aluminium structure for the mirror box and rocker box
