Robert Houdart's telescope web site. When the glass arrives, I'll be making a 1.1m F/4 mirror for Robert. The 8" minor-axis secondary mirror has already been delivered. Robert recently took delivery of a custom 16" F/4.9 mirror, 1.4" thick, to replace the thicker mirror in his 16" telescope, and he has posted a recent observing report here. |
