Default Re: Which telescope have you got?

Two Newtonian reflectors from that once-popular company, Hand-Made Telescopes: a 4.25" RFT and an f/8 8". The primary mirrors for both were ground, polished, and figured by yours truly. The 4.25 is on an Edmund GEM with tripod. The 8" is on a fork equatorial of my own design.

Plus a pair of 7X50 Jason binoculars when it's time to just cruise through the heavens.
