Thanks Jason, and to the others for the comments. I'll come back when the media frenzy dies down in a day or so...

Thanks everyone, there's another NPR interview in 8 hours from now, not sure if it's live or pre-recorded.

Jupiter, 4th August

Thanks for the comments... I have a new 16" mirror in the works to slot into the scope in due course, I was hoping to already have it in and working but (as happens) there were numerous delays along the way.

With any sort of luck I'll have it in the scope for the latter part of Jupiter season this year...

cheers, Anthony

Hi all, sorry for the very late reply...

The scope is a 14.5" f/5 newtonian with a Royce conical primary and Antares 4" secondary. I use a TV 5x powermate (working at 7.5x) and a firewire camera from PGR.

You can see some pics on my website

Look under the "images of new 16" scope" section, I don't have the 16" mirror as yet, but the scope has been designed to take it when it's ready.

regards, Anthony
