Big Bertha, 3.0

I still need to do a bit of adjusting and collimation, and some touch-up paint, especially on the straps.  I was hoping to get to that tonight, because we have a clear sky, but I had orders to fill, so....

But everything is back in the tube -- and it appears that it is slightly heavier than it was before.  Oh well.  At least it should be rigid.

The following two pictures show what happens when you use a flash, and don't use a flash.  From the first picture, you would never know the inside of the tube is black.
