Lunar X - 10 inch telescope
Another image of my homemade 8 inch f-8 reflector telescope. I made the 8 inch primary mirror and polished it to about 1/12 wave or better. The larger finder is a University Optics 2.4 inch refractor. The small other finder is a Unitron.
This is the tube assembly of my original 8 inch relector telescope built between 1967 and 1970. I ground and polished the mirror and used a Parks "blue" fiberglass tube. The focuser is Telescopics and the finder is a genuine "Unitron" 10 x 40 mm item. I placed some photography charts to the instrument in the early 70's and they are still attached .
