Any BIG mirrors out there that needs a new home? Even co-laborators.

Hi all,

The bug is nibbling again, so I need to scratch the itch.

I've come across a stunning folded Newtonian that has prooven to the the source of this bug - see the pic below. So I'm now on the road of design and testing for a similar style of alt/az Newt.

To this end, is there any BIG primary that needs a new home? Something in the field of 28" f/4.5. Faster, slower, bigger, smaller. Let me know. I'm also after a source of flat mirrors.

Gary Vecere's scope is a stunning hybrid. I've started corresponding with him over his design. He's told me the design stage was a two year process. His handy work is stunning.
