Photo shows my homemade 200mm f/6 Newtonian telescope. As can be seen it is Dobsonian mounted. At some point in the future I must upgrade to an equatorial mount!
The Mirror was also home ground and figured (left) during 1994-95. However the first figuring left room for improvement and it was refigured (right) in the summer of 2005 in preparation for capturing Mars later in the year.
Eyepieces from left: 6mm orthoscopic, 15mm plossel, 25mm orthoscopic, 40mm plossel and x2 barlow
