This photograph is not really about photography, but rather about something that is exciting to me. Back in September 2007 I ordered this 18" f/4.3 telescope mirror from one of the best mirror makers in the country. It is made by Carl Zambuto in Washington State. It finally arrived a year later and I am really excited! It weights about 35 pounds. A telescope mirror is an amazing thing, in that its surface is accurate to millionths of an inch! Now my project is to build the telescope that it goes in. I will get to that as soon as I finish putting a new roof on the house, before winter arrives. I will show you more photos as the telescope construction progresses.
How prettily packaged and photographed.
