16" ATM Project

Here is the place for the admins or moderators to do their annoucements. Or, if you have bought a new scope and want the whole world to know, do it here. Basically this is the place for any astro first-hand news.

We should hold an Equipment Fest at a public place when the 16.1" is ready! Then we can celebrate her first light with champange and etc! How about it?

Heheh, that's a bunch of interesting names u guys suggested. Think I like one of Rich's suggestion best: MSIABTY or My Scope Is A Butt Bigger Than Yours :mrgreen: Also don't mind telling others I have a 16-incher... :shock:

Anyway, except for those who are very vertically-challenged, there will be no need to use a ladder even if the scope is pointing vertically up.

As for bringing it to Mersing, we certainly have every intention to do that. :) That's why it will be a truss-tube design.

We are trying to come up with a design and get the parts fabricated soon. Then we will have a few hot private sessions with her to give her a good workout. :P Will have a public session soon after that.
