As some of you know I've been working on building a new scope for the last 6 months or so. The optics are high quality (i.e. not done by me) but all of the design and most of the metalwork is mine.
The design is quite different to anything you may have seen before, I wanted to solve a lot of usability issues in my old scope and so spent time thinking about how to solve these things in the design of the new one.
The things I wanted:
- no tools collimation, and *easy* adjustments on secondary
and primary.
- Integrated temperature controlled mirror mount.
- Lots of other small things.
I only finished the scope today, here's a page with some pictures:
