Zachie Maiter's Scope (J Smit)
Telescope Making > ATM Diaries 2
Progress on Zachie Maiter's Scope:
I wanted to keep the scope secret until me and Zachie are finished, but there are a few innovations that is worth sharing now. In the mean time enjoy the double-curved spider and up-side-down, centre-pivot, mirror cell with right angle adjustments. Mirror cell works particularly well.
Next weekend--first light.
