Curt - I don't know what to say short of it's a master-piece design effort, and I'm an engineer. I think it's a winner Curt. Thanks for all your hard work and patience - and to answer your question - you better believe you will get pic's of the final result. More importantly perhaps, images taken through this scope, with a custom optical supports mirror cell.....to clearly show the functionality, rigidity, and elegance of a well thought out and executed plan. Have fun wherever you are going - and thanks again for a very professional and thorough approach to my unique situation. I applaud you for your commitment to assisting the amateur astronomer.

Curt, I just received my 8" VMC, and wanted to let you know it looks great! I like the design and that normal collimation can be done without extra tools. Now I just have to finish my mirror. Thanks for making a great cell!
