I've never seen it before. Thanks Peter.
I like the unobstructed Newtonian. I have often wondered if it was possible to make one and here it is!!!

Try to locate a copy of "Unusual Telescopes" by Peter Manly. Covers Schupman, medial, Yolo, and many other weird and humourous designs. Like a fork mounted telescope, which is just what it says, a small refract mounted on a set of cutlery!
Makes for a good read.
hey, if it works!!!!
:)
thnx
