Re: Folded Newtonian?
Actually, that's the guy that has brought those fancy wooden scopes to Stellafane over the years. His craft has evolved from those scopes and the mirrors in them to his now-ability to produce mirrors up to 5' in diameter. He gave a talk at the Hartness House a few years back. His proprietary process for making large mirrors is very interesting. I'm sure you guys will recognize some of scopes on this page; https://www.optiquesfullum.com/photo-gallery/

Re: Folded Newtonian?
Did you check out the size of those secondary mirrors? Suddenly, I feel like my scopes are all department store variety.
