Argo Navis owner, Fabio Falchi in Mantova, Northern Italy, just sent me a link to his Facebook
page which includes some fabulous pictures of the construction of a 70cm f/3.1 reflector,
which Fabio tells me are in the final stages.

The images are so impressive, I thought IIS readers may enjoy them so I have provided a link here -

No doubt there will be some ATM's out there drooling at the thought of having a workshop as well equipped as the one seen in this series of pictures -
