Another ATM152

Finished my second 152 tube today.

You might recall the white one from a couple weeks ago
is a visually oriented scope with a 2.7" Astro-Physics focuser:

The red one I finished today has a 4" Astro-Physics focuser
and is capable of medium format film work. (Providing I
could get a field flattener adapter to the AP focuser format.)

Here are some pics:

I only have one TMB152 lens so I moved it over to the red
scope for now.

The red one will be fun at star parties since it is, ahem,
you could say.. rather vibrant . I am not really sure I like
the red, but thats the way it's going to be for a couple
years I'd guess... "Refractor Red"

I *just* started to love refractors...

Simply beautiful!

Don't worry about the red color. Under red light it will look white.

Hi All,
I know this isn't exactly red, but 'wanted to show it anyway. It's my 14" Pierre Schwaar Big Foot.

Thanks,
John
