My friend Jim decided to rebuild his 16" Cassegrain and build a Ritchie. I purchased the 16" Cass from him. The images that the optics give is increadible. I hope to make a fiberglass fork mount and use the Meade DS 80 drive. My plan is to fabricate the fork with 1/8" plywood and fiber glass over that. The optics are shown in Figure 1. Watch this site for progress.
