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.

That is IF they are able to bring the whole setup down! With Wira's BIg Meade in his trunk, how to squeeze the 16.1" "giant" in let alone through the customs?? Later the M'sia customs goes Code Red with a suspected home-made ballistic missle launcer!

Then should junk the "truss" design and go for a "transformer" design..
you know...the whole dang scope walks to mersing on its own and the transform itself into "scope" mode onsite...

Hm, maybe you can adopt the unique Teleport design and then past one of those "Intel inside" stickers on the outside to throw them off guard :lol: But even so, would it be too gigantic to look convincing ? :shock:
