I posted a few more pictures of my 7" f/6.7 and also added some shots of a little refractor I made awhile back out of surplus optics. Maybe it's interesting. Sorry the scopes are black--sometimes it's hard to make out the details, but I like the look and feel of that textured black paint.

Look for the links on my homepage:

Mike,

Great looking scope. I am also in the process of making a 7" dob. I would be interested to know the particulars on the focuser, spider and primary and secondary mirror that was used. Also, what type of truss tubes did you use?

Thanks,

Steve Tatsumi
