Damn, that 15" finder is nearly as big as my 17.5" dob. Wow.

Are we compensating, really, really compensating, now!

Like I've said before, "you can never have too many finders".

I just ordered another 8" f/4 mirror set & components to make a similar finder for mine, just to keep up with the Jones's!

Stuff it! I'll do it all the same. I'll show you...
