Nice to see the design expectations realized.
Unfortunately my equipment limits me to a 10" aperture. I make optics up to 16" diameter but the mechanical parts are the problem. Also my vacuum chamber is limited to 10" diameter max.

The problem seems to be that after the Covid years people are spending their expendable money on travel rather than astro gear so I don't have high expectations regarding sales.
