Hi, ellgab.
I'm an amateur astronomer and telescope-builder — wonder if any of you are, too?

We do not respond to posters that insist on using serif fonts.
Otherwise, welcome and post often. (Sans-serif)

What kind of scopes do you build? Dobsonian?

A strange prejudice. The original term for "sans serif" was grotesk — because the vital appendages of the letter forms have been brutally hacked off.
The cult of Mid-Century and its supreme pontifex, Dieter Rams, has truly, finally, won.
. . . I guess I can live with it. 8)

I have something that resembles a Dobsonian on the boards right now — it's a miniaturized version of the 60" at Mt. Wilson, borrowing some of the innovations invented for the 200" at Palomar.
Basically: a "Dobsonian" (Serrurier-truss Newtonian) on a stubby equatorial wedge. It's about 3% done.
My workhorse is a rehabilitated Super Polaris C8.
