Lee's Yawn

Here's a photo of my 16" telescope in progress. I've had the upper cage built for a while. Just getting the altitude bearing attached to the mirror box. I put the pieces for the rocker in place to give you an idea of the concept.
The shop is a mess, of course.

Nice work Kevin, Looking forward to seeing it when finished.

Hey Kevin,

That is one good-looking low profile mirror platform (too low to call it a box). I just love these minimalist designs that have been popularized, if not actually started, by those ATM'ers up in the NW like Greg Babcock, Steve Vegos, Bruce Sayre, et. al. Probably a lot of those who attend the Oregon Star Party every year.

Your altitude bearings are particularly attractive. I assume the cage will rest between them and the whole tidy thing will fit into the back of your Honda CRV?
