Some photos of a former S*T*A*R member's ATM projects.

Some notes by Adam Perkins about making a sight tube to collimate a scope.

The making of the Beast, a 14.25" f/6 truss tubed dobsonian (under construction).

Meeting notes from 7-7-99.

Mike Lindner rebuilt an old Coulter 13". The first thing he did was to put in an easy to make 6 point mirror cell. The next and final step was to refigure the mirror and finally replace the tube with a truss tube and string arrangement for light weight and easy transportation.
