New project

Hi guys I have a question that I'm having trouble getting answered. Does anyone know of a site where I can get details of a modern Herschelian telescope? I have been in contact with someone at my astronomy club who will help me build it, but he has to find the plans and details . He built a 6 inch about 20 yrs ago. I want to build a 10 inch. I've already built a 10 inch F7 Newtonian so I don't want to build another one. I need something more challenging. (I've already made another 10 inch F5 mirror). I want to read up on it. I'm a little bit obsessed with mirror/telescope making, some would say very obsessed . All I know is that it is an off axis telescope. The light hits the primary which is at an angle then bounces off and through two lenses that are located under the secondary then onto the focuser. There is no spider.

Regards Cristian
