No baffles yet. The dew shield and main tube just have flat black for now. I will make them soon. I had thought that the ota was lighter than the Celestron C6-R but it's about 5lbs heavier. The tubing is not your standard "sonotubing." The tubes are heavy duty mailing tubes from Yazoo Mills. The tubing wall thickness is about 1/4". These tubes are quite precise and very straight. I have made a couple of 8" F/12 refractors using this tubing.

More lead on the target, post haste! 
Maybe there could even be an interfaith target practice on the WH lawn.

"The bullet from an AR-15 does an entirely different kind of violence to the human body. It’s relatively small, but it leaves the muzzle at three times the speed of a handgun bullet. It has so much energy that it can disintegrate three inches of leg bone. “It would just turn it to dust,” says Donald Jenkins, a trauma surgeon at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. If it hits the liver, “the liver looks like a jello mold that’s been dropped on the floor.” And the exit wound can be a nasty, jagged hole the size of an orange."
I guess that's your idea of a gutsier .22...

Will you buy an expensive equipment on Astromart without physically seeing from a seller with no rating and someone that just became member on Astromart few days before listing the equipment?
