Good job on the telescope, issue was the poor quality of the video stream, but nice sound track. Other than that, nice telescope, I am working on assembling the parts for my own. Why did you go with wood to hold the secondary mirror instead of metal posts? Just curious.

Inexperience and youth. The latest model uses hobby prethreaded metal rods. Alas, the newest video never came to fruition.

can you let me know some information on where you can purchases 6/8" concave mirrors.thanks

Somewhere in the video we pause on the address of where we bought the mirrors. They're no longer the same company, but were merged into another.
