after 1.5 year delivery time for the optics, we completed 23 days ago the next 16"F/10 Maksutov Cassegrain, OTA, build for a US customer at the west coast
Matthias made the tube again with cooling fans, attachments for Astro-Physics Traveller Guider Scope, 3" Starlight focuser etc.....

Tube weight is about 114 pound
tube diameter is about 20.4 inch
Tube length is about 43.4 inch

This is the third 16" Mak we build over the last few years of this size

happy weekend
