Telescope making

Hi guys

Just like to keep everyone posted on my telescope making efforts. I just finished the fine grinding and hopefully on sunday I will start polishing my 10 inch. So far so good. I have had a few setbacks but nothing too big. I already have my tube a piece of 300mm PVC pipe. It's fairly thick so I don't think it will flex. I "found it" on a construction site I was working on, so beggars can't be choosers. I still intend to post a few pics. On another note my 50cm x 50 cm pyrex blank arrived last week so as soon as I get it cut I will post a picture. It's a beauty.

Regards Cristian
