Just an incomplete ATM project!  But then are they ever really complete?

The lens set is by Roger Ceragioli and won a merit award at Riverside. 
Almost perfect, or good enough that I don't see any flaw, textbook
perfect airy disks.  90mm clear aperture at about f/12.  He sold it to
me with a tube that was adequate, but a little light to support a camera
and with a 1.25" focuser.  So I built a new tube, all machined and
anodized aluminum with a Feathertouch 2" focuser.  The tube and baffles
designed around a 1.4" focal plane.  It rides very nicely on my tall
Losmandy mount.  It just needs completion and installation of the
internal knife edge baffles and some flat black paint.
