That's great! Not the usual home made 12.5" (i.e. f/4.5 on a dob mount type of thing). Nice mount/ nice scope. Please tell us how it works after you get a chance to use it.

Most interesting, especially the focuser placement -- it doesn't rotate in the UTA does it? I'm trying to imagine the possible eyepiece angles on the GEM... doesn't seem that bad, but a bit tall. Thanks for sharing, -- William
