Chuck I have a real nice 12.5" F6 OTA w/ rotating rings, 4" finder the mirror w/ ground by Dick Wallace (Palomar Obs.) it's a planet killer. I sold the Schaefer mount 2 years ago and hope to eventually have it up Haleakala I built it in the mid-80's last used it in 2004. The idea is to make it a truss mount equatorial for imaging, we just don't have a suitable mount yet OR a place to house it. BTW last night at the summit seeing 9+, 5mph, 12% humidity and 37ยบ we left at 4:30 it was a GOOD night Aloha Rob
