Here is my 90mm achromat. It is basically a smaller version of the 6", similar construction. The focuser is a GSO 2 speed with dielectric diagonal. The focuser adapter is homemade from brass. The mount shown is the same one for the 6" refractor just with less counter-weights and a different dovetail clamp and plate. The lens is an Antares 'Vixen spec' traditional style achromat made in Japan, magnesium fluoride coatings on all surfaces, 1500mm focal length. I am in the process of making a portable mount for this scope but young children and study commitments have been taking priority.
