12.5" F4.7 Newtonian for Gary in Hinckley, OH.:

This telescope includes an Antares 2-speed 2" crayford focuser with 1.25" adapter, a Destiny curved vane spider and secondary. The mirror is a Hubble Optics 12.5" F4.7 with a strehl of .9987 and sits on a custom build 6-point all aluminum mirror cell optimized with Plop. I've installed the encoder installation kit and encoders for Gary as well as a DSC stalk for a digital setting circle.
 
The photos of the moon were taken at the eyepiece with a point-n-shoot Nikon digital camera (just for fun!!). Not bad
 
The telescope was completed in June 2009.
 

The 12.5" completely assembled and ready to use. More photos here.
