And the 'Serrurier' family grows. Nice build, well done. Skeletope II came in at just over 11 kg for a 10" without mirrors. All up on the EQ6 is about17kg


Thanks Brent. I'm suprised there are not more of these scopes.

I think they look too complicated for some. I got my inspiration from Rolf too.
Skeletope I was a box with some poles, Skeletope II used all the otical components from I and made it look pretty and work better but I would never have attempted II without building I first.

Very impressive build there Stephen. This design is super sturdy
and I'm sure you'll enjoy its stability and performance over the
years. It looks very similar to mine.
I'm currently building a 12.5" version and yes Mr. Royce has been
delaying my order several times, now I understand why. I ordered
in Oct last year, and last I heard was it should be ready by June
so maybe not too far off now

Congratulations on such a fine build!

Thanks Rolf.
Your scope was one of the inspirations to get of my butt
and build a scope with some great glass.

Amen to that

Cheers
Brent
