 This is my 18'' f/4.19 scope. First ATM project! Outstanding mirror is from Carl Zambuto. |
 Bearings are made of plywood, mirror cell is aluminum and upper cage is carbon fiber. |
 Scope has full tracking capability with Servocat/Argonavis. Mel Bartels taking notes (at right in this picture) |
 Dan Gray's 14'' scope. It is moved by an array of rare earth magnets |
 It can rotate amazingly fast (up to 50 degree/s) and gets back to initial position when kicked |
 Rocker box |
 Magnets exposed |
 Walkabout was very interesting! |
 Everything fits! Scope takes about 2/3 of the trunk. Poles are on the ski rack. |
