14" F5 Newtonian for Ron in
Franklin, IN.:
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 14" F5 sandwich mirror and sits on a custom built 6-point all aluminum mirror cell optimized with Plop. I've installed the encoder installation kit for Ron. Notice the red-white and blue counterweight! Neat. The
telescope was completed in June 2009.

This picture of Ron with his telescope. I shipped the scope fine sanded and assembled. Ron then finished the scope with a custom color and varnish. |
|
The 14" completely assembled and ready to use. Ron mounted his Sky Commander to one of the struts and below the eyepiece. |

This photo shows a nice
"rear" shot. |

Another nice shot of the
telescope. In this photo you can see the Sky Commander and
zero-power red-dot finder mounted on the top ring. |

Here's a picture of the 14" scope during construction. I assemble the mirror box, altitude bearings and custom fit the rocker box. |

Another photo of the construction stage with the 6-point aluminum mirror cell installed. The mirror is affixed to the cell with 100% silicone. |

Another photo of the telescope as construction nears completion. |
