Tomo Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 What sort of scope did your bro make tomo? Hmm I think it's 6 inch mirror this one, he's in the planning stages for an 8 inch mirror. Here's a photo of it, made it all himself, no plans. Not bad for a 15yr old! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motzartmerv Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Wow.. Not bad is an understatement.. Incredible is more like it.. Beautiful job.. Quite a bit of knowledge goes into making a Newtonian reflector like that. Let alone the handskills to make it work.. Good job!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
