Discuss: Co-Share 15" Zambuto Scope

Wanna make a scope? Or better still, grind a mirror yourself. Or, you have some good tips in making a really useful accessory? This is the place to show what your hands can do...

Arief, I thought you have the truss tubes already? :) I believe the ball & socket should come as a set, but I will check this with James. I think we can also look for alternative suppliers apart from AstroSky. Meanwhile we can discuss on the Co-Share details, which I am open to ideas from you guys. Can we all meet up (Co-Sharers as well as anyone else) on 1 Jan 07 at about 7pm to work this out? :)

No more co-sharers?

Richard, I'm not sure if my aluminum tube is T6061, so might as well we order it from Astrosky (i cover the cost).

Btw, I think we can safely use a 2.60" diagonal (this is the same size used on 15" obsession). I did a quick NEWT calculation below

Hi, Richard,
My friend told me he wants to buy your 15" mirror badly, he has also found a skilled technician who could build a collapsable structure. Please let me have your decision as soon as possible, this guy is truely a ready buyer.
Thanks

Hi Liuming, maybe your friend miss my last post on the (Buy & Sell) "Selling ZAMBUTO mirror" thread. On my behalf, kindly thank your friend for his interest in the mirror but we are discussing tonight on the co-sharing ideas and hence this 15" CZ mirror is currently not on sale.

Well Liuming, your friend don't have to quit yet! Just ask him to buy the mirror direct from Zambuto! :)
