Description

The purpose of this group is to encourage engaging debate and fresh ideas on L. Schupmann's medial and brachymedial telescope designs, historical record, construction, and astronomical uses.

Questions regarding the fabrication and testing of Schupmann optics as well as the mechanics of the telescope itself are welcome, but for more general inquires on the optical and mechanical fabrication of telescopes please see www.atmsite.org, the ATM mailing list (see http://www.atmsite.org/contrib/
Poulson/faq/atmsect1.html#11) and the ATM mailing list archive at http://www.atmlist.net/pipermail/atm .

Re: 13" f/10 Schupmann at Stellafane ah, thanks for that Dave! :) Yes, I'd been playing around with the ones that you had posted on CN and was pretty amazed at the flexibility the design exibits Posted - Wed May 9, 2012 2:10 pm	Dave O dostwald Offline Send Email
Re: 13" f/10 Schupmann at Stellafane Dave, The Stellafane 13" is scaled from the "standard" 10" f/10 Super Schupmann, which is outlined in detail in Jim Daley's book. This is another nice feature Posted - Wed May 9, 2012 1:32 pm	David dmgroski Offline Send Email
