a Portable 25" Telescope

With little doubt the largest telescope I'll ever own: a huge 25" (635mm) aperture truss Dobsonian! I built this monster early 2022, using a high quality mirror set salvaged from an abandoned telescope found in Germany (read the complete story of this incredible barnfind here: http://www.roelblog.nl/2021/10/bizarr.... This video shows the complete assembly of the telescope, which takes less than 10 minutes. The telescope recently got its "first light" under a really dark sky. An aperture of 25 inches opens up a whole new dimension (pun intended) to observing. The images through the eyepiece were absolutely stunning. Details in galaxies are suddenly so obvious and bright, it blew me right off my observing ladder! :D More details about the design and build: http://www.roelblog.nl/2022/04/comple...
