Hi guys I got my mirror back fully coated and have put it on the scope to test it. Initially I couldn't see anything and I started to wonder if there was something wrong with it. Eventually I worked it out (with a little help). I hadn't allowed for the diameter of the tube and the length of the focuser. After working that out I gave it a test run on the moon on thursday night and everything lookeed well. Today i will go and put the finising touches on it and bring it home to start observing. Finally. Now for my next project 10 inch F6. I already bought all the materials so I will start this soon. I'm not making a telescope just the mirror.
Regards Cristian
