Now
that we have completed the Guide Scope for the 10" Newtonian, we now had
to find a means to protect the objective from dust and debris while
being stored. The original dust cap was lost a long time ago, so I
figured I would rekindle an old school technique Gary and I used during
the early years of the Vega by building my own dust cap for the Guide
Scope using cardboard and packaging tape. It turned out and performs
great!
Well,
this concludes the restoration process of the Tasco 6TE-5 50mm f/12
Refractor Guide Scope. We hope the information contained here and
elsewhere on our astronomical WebHub will benefit the astronomical
community as much as we have in sharing it. In the last section covering
the construction of the VSC/ SAO 10" f/5.6 "Gary Barabino" Fork Mounted
Newtonian reflector, we will move on to the last phase of this
auspicious project by performing the OTA finishing and
assembly. To the right, please click on the

Restoration page, or the arrow pointing to the left to go back a page.
