My first scope was a homemade 10" dob.
Opps off topic, we were talking about Norman Edmund, my bad. This is a slightly earlier version of the telescope I owned, mine had
the wood tripod (later upgraded to the Edmund pedestal) but a shorter Dec shaft. My finderscope was the same, and I upgraded that, as well, after a few years.
