Goodmorning everyone!
My name is Fabio, 57 years (I see that we are more than one in this …fascia), from Milan.
Passion is a little’ longtime, although the achievements can be counted on the fingers of the hand of an elderly carpenter. The first test was 30 years ago, with a disc from 10 cm laboriously obtained from a 10mm plate, cutting edges and rounding on a kind of manual lathe. In those days it was difficult to find various materials and also information. But the good Texereau had laid a seed could no longer hold.
Then the years pass but lately I have reactivated the passion.
I realized, as a joke, a small 100mm long focus: yes now you see what they are capable of long-Newtonian small fire!!
But I also have a F4.3 and 155mm 250 waiting to finish polishing.
In the meantime, I'm helping a friend who wanted to build a telescope looking to save… We found an old tube Konus 255mm F4.8. The mirror, I'll show you, but undoubtedly it needs rialluminatura… it is also a touch-up!
Already they are passionate in reading the articles and the forum Grattavetro: I hope to help, at least a little’ of problems!
Greetings to all
