Maybe you could start a business making 16" scopes!
You can buy a 16" mirror for $950 from: http://www.telescopes-astronomy.com.au/
What size is your diagonal?
All the rest of the bits arrive this week, which I hope will speed things up
a little. I'm looking at having first light around next fullmoon maybe.

It is something that I am definitely interested in, but I will wait to see
if i can pull off a good enough job. I did check Matt, but he had sold out
and it was looking like I had to wait until September before he was getting
anymore in, that why I went straight to GSO. If GSO resopnse wasn't
as quick as it was I would be waiting for a Mark Shutung mirror. Later
I'm going to have Mark hand figure the 16".

regards,CS
