Tim's 10 inch TriSchiefspiegler
A Unique Implementation of a Rare Design
This extremely lightweight 10" alt-azimuth "tryke" is constructed of a fistfull of fiberglass arrow shafts and about 8 tubes of JB Weld epoxy, all mounted to an aluminum base ring. Affectionately refered to as the "boxkite", it features electic slow motion controls via stepper motors driving homemade wormgears. For more information about this rare optical layout, go to the "Links" area, click on "Tilted Component Telescopes", and follow your nose to "David Stevick's Wierd Telescope Page".
