The new 20" baby has arrived

[citivolus (Ric)]

Wow, that is one seriously droolworthy mirror. I can't wait to see what you make of it.

[astronut (John)]

Congratulations Petra,
Now if you change your mind about the mirror, I have a place to store it at our club.
Keep us informed of your design.

Congratulations on the new arrival Petra, is there any truth in the rumour that Dave is building a dual purpose truss / trebuchet assembly to house it.

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Yes, you are right about the trebuchet, the competition is going to be interesting to say the least! I must hide my mirror!!!!

It's a lovely piece of glass Petra.
I'm very very happy for you. I bet you can't wait for it's new home to be built.

Congratulations Petra.
If you have any questions when you are building the telescope I'll be happy to help.

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Thank you so much for the extremely kind offer. I'm sure that I will have quite a few questions as time progresses. I'm a little nervous - but extremely excited.

Cheers Petra

Nothing to be nervous about just enjoy the experience.

You never know after the building the 20" you might want to build a 32"

Congratulations on a beautiful piece of glass. Mark's the man. Bet you can't wait to use it!

Cheers
