Hi Ingrid,

Rod is an excellent lawyer and a very ordinary carpenter. Whilst he is capable of solving the worlds' legal problems, he is totally and utterly incapable of building a telescope like that

His scope and several others, including one of mine, was made by a good friend of ours called Peter Read, who has his own telescope building business called SDM Telescopes.

They are as good as anything built anywhere else in the world and something to consider in a few years time if you and your hubby are still keen observers.

Cheers,
John B
