Folks,
 
I'm hoping some longtime members can help here.
 
There's a current thread going on over on Cloudy Nights Classics forum "A 
Mystery Scope".  Just today, it was learned that the scope was built by a SAC 
member from long ago who passed away in 1990 - Maynard Clark.

Could you shed any light on a marvelous 8" f8 he ATM'ed?  A CN member from 
Tucson has acquired it and is now restoring it.  It really is a special 
telescope and was finely crafted.
 
Here's the thread:

Please either contribute directly to the thread or I'd be glad to relay any 
comments/memories folks might have.
 
Thanks,

Darrell Spencer
