Amateur Telescope Making
The 8" f/4 Perseus 
Suitcase transportable scope for Australia
Uploaded 12/5/17
 This one I designed
            to come apart in to managable pieces and fit in a standard suitcase
            along with clothes and other travel gear. After I built this
            one, I gave the scope to Rick Rotramel, who was also going to
            Australia with us that year. He painted it like this, a nice
            medium metallic blue color and then named it "The Perseus".
            It worked totally killer in Australia.

the valley.
