Lurie-Houghton Telescope
Secondary Retaining Nut on Lathe
The machined parts for the telescope were made with the help of my friend Cullen Bennett in his
home based machine shop. The secondary sleeve
assembly, which is used to attach the
secondary mirror assembly to the corrector was the first part we
made. We did this so we could verify that it fit correctly in the hole of the
lens blank.
This photo was taken 20 November 1999 with an Olympus D-600L digital camera.
