You went through all that trouble just to make a lens that's no bigger than a ping-pong ball?
Can't imagine the price tag on that sort of thing.

no Katahu314 every eyepiece has no more less than a 3 lens,that the easiest part to polish the mirrow like i heard once is a cavemen job,not only rough grounding,to measure the esferical aberrations,Fixed that's the hardest part.I said once ,once you have the mirrow well done without aberations without scrachings and stuff you have the 90% of the hardest part done

Its better when you do it by your self,i don't know the prices TASCO for ex made a good mirrow but the mount is like a toy and the eyepieces are trash..Im begining to think that built an *.mdl in Gmax its more dificult..
I don't sell it because anyone can do it as well...seach for a manual (Book)name How to built a telescope by Jean Texerau..thats the one i use,its very didactical and easy,even i got the english version,instead i still don't get it i have downloaded all tutorials for making a virtual cockpit FOR FS9 and i can't place the gauges yet

Pretty amazing... How can I order one of those protable samlaunchers?
No kidding, great looking telescopes! You plan on starting your own brand and comercialise them?
