Ah so there it is. I have heard a great deal about this OTA over the last couple of months. The finish looks superb and in keeping with the temperature release you spoke of several years ago. I like the idea of the middle adapter so that you can use the 14" while the 16 is being ground.
Has the mirror come out of the kiln yet Anthony? Or is it now at Marks?
Shorter focal length can be accommodated by using an extension if need be anyway. You could get a custom made extension if you find that the image scale is too small. Although having said that, I have found you can get a bit of extension just by simply spreading all the components out a little at setup. This can cause some flop with some of the gear, so you have to be careful not to cause decollimation.
Looks good so far, looking forward to the images.
