Looking Glass Accessories

This wood telescope is coming along very well. Here is a photo of the scope before paint and varnish to show how much of the scope is new woodwork.

Since that photo, I have done a few modifications:

I rebuilt the focuser holder out of a piece of 1/2 inch ply wood.

I painted and varnished all the pieces of the scope.

I cut an inch and a half from the height of the scope.

I built a primary mirror cover for the lower box.

I built a new brace system for the top of the primary mirror box.

I sewed a secondary mirror cover

I sewed a container for the trusses for transport.

I modified the white nylon cover I had built for the HyperLightbridge and it now fits Looking Glass very well.

OK. Now I need some clear, dark skies after full moon. Lets put the request in.
