...and now we present the one, and only VSC/ SAO Carton 100mm f/13 "Mary Dawson" refractor optical tube assembly. To date, this is finest instrument I have construction, with more builds on the horizon. Soon I will provide a First Light report for your reading pleasure. I just hope it will perform as well as it looks. In the next few slides I will show the telescope from other angles.
