8" F6 Newt and Me.

Description

I built this telescope with a coopered wooden tube, it works well as can be seen from some of my images. It took around 7 months to build, as I made everything (except the focuser and mirror) from scratch. It has an aluminium mirror cell and matching wooden guide scope with adjustable mounting. The inside of the tube is fully flocked and baffled. The total weight came to 10.5 kg, which was easily handled by the iOptron IEQ45. The mirror cell has two mounting options allowing optimised visual or photographic use.
