How about another one?

This was the second scope I built last year using the same optics. The first was tooo heavy for my taste. 10" F5 on a University Optics cell. It is Carbon Fiber with quick release truss connectors and adjustable CG. Its big brother is 75% done. It will be a Carbon Fiber and aluminum Obsession type using a 16" Nova mirror.I have some in process photos of it if anyone is interested.

Very nice. You need to cut some holes in the rocker box. ;-)

But seriously, where did you get the carbon fiber tubes?

We would love to see the work in progress.
I like the carbon fiber. Nice to look at and easy to carry.
What are the alt bearings made from anyway?

Very, very sharp-looking! I'm imagining a lightweight black and silver mount made from carbon fiber and aluminum to match that gorgeous OTA ;^).

I've seen this scope in person (MASP 2002) and was immediately taken with the beauty of carbon fiber in the sunlight and the overall excellent craftsmanship.

Again, nice work David.
