Working On My New Telescope


I am finally doing some serious work on my new telescope with the 18" mirror. I decided that I needed some detailed drawings of what size everything needs to be to fit properly. I am building a "standard" design, but I am making it as small and as light as I can. So it is important that I have the sizes just right. These are full-size drawings, so they are too large for my drawing board downstairs. So the answer is to work on a piece of plywood on the living room floor. And the kitty is enjoying watching me work too.
