10" Mirror certified 0.992 Strehl +Handmade scope

Unused 10" mirror certified by owl optics with reports and identification number. This was optically the best 10" mirror I could find. Cost US$1500.

Unfinished project.

The tube is a smaller copy of Australia's most famous Astrophotographers 13" masterpiece. It was made by the same guy who made his. Designed to be light, fast cooling and rigid. Believe is 302mm or 303mm diameter (used software to design based on this particular mirror). The top half has been hands painfully polished from Aircraft Aluminium.

Tube and mirror unused. Total costs were $2500 in Australian dollars.

All reasonable offers considered. Pick up from Wollstonecraft Sydney. Could also courier with friends interstate removalist for $150 to Melb. or Bris. Metro.
