The Silver Bullet

Here are some pics of my 10" premium newt I want to share with some fellow icers.

The tube is aluminum and was made by Gary Mitchel to spec. Tolerances were within 1mm and feels solid as a tank.

After sitting in the corner for 9 months (well still is), I took delivery last month of a certified .992 strehl mirror that was recently refigured by optic waves laboritores in California.

So it's finally coming together....very very sloooowly.

Any advice on a mirror cell would be greatly welcomed too guys
