I had the good fortune, I think, of having a 16" F/3 Newtonian OTA made available. These kinds of events change everything. I have nearly completed a 12.5" F/7 field corrected Schmidt Cassegrain, this project is now on indefinite hold. I'll be building a 16" F/3.5 corrected Newtonian instead.
I received the first element of the correction system yesterday a 16.5"diameter NBK7 blank for the front objective element.
I'll post construction notes and photos during its construction if there is interest... Dave
