A friend of mine is a composites engineer and we were discussing re-inventing the dob. I'm meeting him tomorrow to have a gab re design and fabrication. If you have an idea of how you want your scope to look / work, we'd be happy to entertain anyone's plans. If enough people take part we may just be able to get his firm to crank them out a decent price.
However they DO NOT work with 'twigs and mucus', so the price should be much lower and the scope much more weather tolerant.
PM or email if interested
Peter
