Yes, you are correct. I didn't mean to imply anything by use of the word amateur. Any undertaking of that "scope" (no pun intended) is to be admired!!!

A couple of years ago, I organized tours of both Intermountain Optics, and NOVA. Steve graciously invited us to his home/shop, and made himself available all morning for show & tell, and questions. Great guy. Chuck --- Jim Stitley wrote:

It make be the largest amateur made mirror in Utah. Its a fine instrument. Need a good ladder, though. Jim Stitley
