Red Tube Coulter 13.1in - Final demise

Hi Folks,

My red tube Coulter 13.1" dob was just getting to be too heavy to lug around, and the mirror is destined for a truss someday.

My wife just got some cats and was threatening to buy a $100+ cat climbing condo.

What would any telescope builder do?

The big red tube was a natural choice for this application. wink

Always did think the views were kind of furry in those...

Nice reuse and with the size of our cat, I could ask the wife for a 17.5"...!
