Ad Astra Observatory

A,

First light? When you first have all the parts?

Because I have a great name for the new 13” scope — Triskaidekaphobia,
“Trixie” for short.

But if it’s unlucky to name the scope before it’s built, maybe naming it
“fear of the number 13” will offset?

Anyway, the mirrors arrived today. The pirmary is ~1” thick, and weighs
in at roughly 10 pounds. That’s really light. I think I’m going to be

able to drive this baby on the G-11.

Now, to build it.
