Jim has built a pretty cool telescope, and has decided to share it with you guys.
He does not have any image shrinking software (somebody send him an old, legal copy of Photoshop please), so I posted these pics for him. I'm sure he will stop by and fill in the details.

Id like to make my own large dob, a 22" f/4.3 is what I am shooting for now but I am also checking a price for a 34" f/4 blank as well.

Here are some more of Jim's pics
Jim: http://www.gimp.org/ free photo editing software. Make your pics 600 pixels across (the ones you send me are 2800 pixels across) and they should load up fine.
