3 Dobsonian Reflectors
These are 3 other Newtonian reflector telescopes that I have constructed.
The blue one has a 15 cm diameter f/8 mirror which I ground and polished. The middle one has an Astro-Optics
25 cm diameter f/5.8 mirror with a half truss tube. The one on the left has a Parks 31.5 cm diameter f/5 mirror and a full Serrurier truss framework
tube. This one breaks down into 3 pieces without the need to dismantle the truss work for easier transportation.

The 25 cm and 15 cm telescopes have gone to other (and probably better) homes.
The 31.5 cm has undergone several upgrades, including lightening the overall weight and smoothing the bearing motion with new Ebony Star
laminate.
Another update to the 31.5 cm
