I love it mate!

when is the 14" mirror due?
It's been sitting here in it's shipping container for a few weeks. Now that the 13.1" is working well I'm in no hurry to use it - I don't have access to any workshop while we're living as guests with Michael & Cate and I have to build a new mirror cell + cooler for it.

It may stay in it's box until we move into the new house in March and I have some space to work. It's going to be a close call whether it fits in my current tube (16" tube, 14.5" mirror...) so I may give in and have Gary make me a larger tube for it... I sort-of plan to buy a larger mount to stick in the observatory when we move in, maybe a Titan?, and maybe one of those yummy 3" JMI motorised focussers...

cheers, Bird
