[ATM] A new 110 cm (43.3") telescope project

[Hugues.Laroche@ses-astra.com]

Hi Robert, and all,

>>>
My new 110 cm f/4 (43.3") portable alt-azimuth telescope is now
"officially" under construction.
You can find more details at the following address:
http://www.cruxis.com/scope.

If everything goes well with this ambitious and exciting project, the
telescope should see its first light in the first half of 2008.

I did not know such a big amateur project was on-going so near from
me (between 20 and 300 km depending on where you are in Belgium :-).
I did not get for sure: do you make the mirror yourself?

As you might know, I am running (well the word is not so well suited,
'cause it is so slow) a comparable project --> 44.6" = 113 cm.
BTW, I am about to resume working on it since a new motor is available
for the polishing machine. Need time and space to mount the motor on the
machine (not before 2 weeks at least).

Anyway: I think we could have interesting exchanges!?

Hugues
