Entry		Scope	Primary Mirror	Product Line	Date of Completion	Customer	Location	Production Notes
TT205	In Progress	18" F/4.5	Zambuto	TT/Classic	December 2019*	Robert T.	California	An amazing instrument that will utilize Quartz for the primary mirror substrate, allowing fast cool down times to ambient outdoor temperatures. Upgrades include the ServoCat GoTo/Tracking system, the Nexus DSC, Feathertouch focuser, SIPS, etc.
TT204	In Progress	14.5" F/5	Zambuto	TT/Classic	October 2019*	Gordon S.	Texas	At F/5 this telescope starts to bridge the gap between wide field and planetary/lunar high contrast observing. The Zambuto primary mirror will allow this telescope to do everything exceedingly well because of the smooth polish and well corrected figure.
TT203	In Progress	15" F/4.5	Ostahowski	TT/Classic	April 2019*	Doug O.	Arizona	This telescope will be the customer's main observing instrument from dark desert skies. Upgrades include a Quartz primary mirror substrate, a dual speed Moonlite focuser and Nexus digital setting circles.
TT202	In Progress	10" F/4.7		TT/Classic	April 2019*	Wyatt D.	New Hampshire	This telescope, using customer supplied primary and secondary mirrors, replaces a lighter weight version from another manufacturer.
TT201	In Progress	16" F/4	Zambuto	TT/Journey-HD	June 2019*	Alan P.	California	The same customer STS86. This Journey-HD will be his main observing instrument and is being purchased to replace another manufacturer's telescope that did not fully suit this customer's needs. A telescope that breaks down into smaller and light components is what he was after and this telescope should accomplish that.
STS86	In Progress	11" F/4.5	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2019*	Alan P.	California	This customer was looking for a telescope that was more portable and easier to move around than his larger instrument from another manufacturer. Still providing ample aperture, the views in the 11" STS are reminescent of a larger instrument, plus it sets up quickly compared to a larger Truss-Dobsonian.
TT200	In Progress	20" F/3.5	Lightholder	TT/Sub4	February 2019*	George S.	Florida	An upgrade from a mass produced telescope of smaller aperture, this telescope will be this customer's primary instrument. Fortunately he will do most of his observing from home where he can roll the telescope outside right onto an observing platform.
TT199	In Progress	14.5" F/4.5	Zambuto	TT/Classic	June 2019*	Jansen L.	Pennsylvania	This will be the customer's largest telescope, an upgrade in aperture from a smaller refractor. Looking for a good compromise between weight and aperture, the customer selected our 14.5" Classic because it offered moderate aperture, a solid structure and could easily be rolled out from his garage for use at home.
TT198	In Progress	18" F/5	Zambuto	TT/Classic	April 2019*	Luis M.	Monterrey, Mexico	Luis is our first customer from Mexico and he selected an instrument slightly longer in focal length (F/5) than is typical for this aperture (18"). Unless you are looking for "feet flat on the ground" observing, we always suggest going with as slow a focal ratio as you can. Contrast is boosted every little bit slower you can go.
STS85	In Progress	10" F/5	Zambuto	TT/STS	January 2019*	Rick R.	New Jersey	Rick is a return customer who purchased (and still owns) a 14.5" telescope we built for him several years ago. He's adding this 10" scope, with what will be an equisite Zambuto primary mirror, to his collection of equipment to be a planetary scope that he will use sometimes in its Dobsonian mount but also sometimes in a set of custom mounting rings on an EQ mount.
STS84	In Progress	8" F/5.7	Zambuto	TT/STS	February 2019*	Mark B.	New York	This customer is a repeat customer. He sold the first 8" STS he purchased from us several years ago and regretting it so much that he came back to have us build him another! :-) This STS will have all the best options including digital setting circles, dual speed Moonlite focuser, 1/30 PV secondary mirror, etc.
STS83		10" F/6 (Gallery)	Lockwood	TT/STS	December 2018	Nick L.	Ohio	This telescope is an outstanding planetary instrument along with giving stunning contrast for objects like globular star clusters. Further, this is our first STS telescope to utilize the Dual Boundary Layer Cooling Fan method which is standard on our larger telescopes.
TT197	In Progress	12" F/4	GSO	TT/Journey-AIR	January 2019*	Donna M.	Georgia	This telescope will be going with our customer to various locales around the world. The bulk of the structure will be checked-baggage while the primary mirror and mirror cell will be carry-on luggage.
TT196	In Progress	18" F/4.5	Zambuto	TT/Classic	March 2019*	Jim T.	Delaware	Decked out with all of the upgrades we offer, this telescope will be an awesome all-in-one package. This customer travels regularly for star parties and has a spot in his RV already set aside for this scope.
TT195	In Progress	14.5" F/4.5	Lightholder	TT/Classic	March 2019*	Steve E.	Louisianna	Having not been happy with a previous telescope, this customer came to us to build a custom telescope to his specific requests.
TT194	In Progress	22" F/3.3	Lightholder	TT/Sub4	January 2019*	Sam F.	New Mexico	Having moved to a new location with much dark skies, this customer wanted to have his "forever telescope" built to use under those skies. He opted to have us build our largest Sub4 scope with all of the most popular upgrades.
TT193	In Progress	16" F/3.8	Lightholder	TT/Journey-HD	February 2019*	In Stock	TBD	Occassionally we have an open spot in a production run as we did recently and we will fill it with a telescope of our choosing to build "ahead." This Journey-HD will allow us to further tweak and enhance this design by having one to use as a test bench.
STS82		8" F/6 (Gallery)	Parks Optical	TT/STS	April 2018	In Stock	TBD	Occassionally we have an open spot in a production run as we did recently and we will fill it with a telescope of our choosing to build "ahead." This STS was a bit of an experiment aesthetically as we opted to use brand new wood stain color (Bright Red Cherry) and powder coat finish for the OTA ("Starfield").
STS81		8" F/6 (Gallery)	GSO	TT/STS	June 2018	Heather T.	New Jersey	Combatting the "Cobblers Family Has No Shoes" situation, this telescope was built for the wife of Teeter's Telescopes founder, Rob Teeter. It was about time that Heather, who does all of the seamstress work for Teeter's Telescopes, had a telescope of her own. Finished with our Amber wood stain, Blue Vein powder coat for the OTA and Nickel/Chrome hardware.
STS80		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/STS	November 2018	Phil A.	California	Designed to be optically sharp and minimally complex with limited electronics, this telescope's Lightholder primary mirror and 1/30 P-V secondary mirror put up outstanding images at the eyepiece. The customer also requested a custom green color for the optical tube assembly, which we were happy to provide.
TT192	In Progress	15" F/5	Zambuto	TT/Custom	January 2019*	Rob B.	Florida	Here's a fairly rare moderate aperture telescope with a somewhat slower focal ratio than usual. This customer didn't feel the need to follow the trend of larger and shorter, he wanted taller yet still manageable. This telescope will be an exceptional optical performer at F/5 with a Zambuto Quartz primary mirror.
STS79		10" F/5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	November 2018	Kyle F.	Illinois	Outfitted with a Zambuto Quartz primary mirror, Feathertouch focuser, Nexus DSC's and a 1/30 P-V secondary mirror the images at the eyepiece are sharp, contrasty and snap into focus. Further, the "Jersey Creme" powder coat for the tube assembly is a great contrast to the Cherry wood stain for the rest of the structure.
STS78		10" F/5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/STS	November 2018	Neil F.	Israel	This is our customer's primary instrument, spec'ed out with awesome upgrades like a Dual Speed Moonlite focuser, Nexus DSC's, and a 1/30 P-V secondary mirror. This scope also looks great with our "Alien Silver" powder coated tube and Ebony wood stain.
TT191	In Progress	12.5" F/4.5	Zambuto	TT/Journey-HD	April 2019*	Steve V.	Minnesota	This is our first 12.5" Journey-HD which is a heavier duty version of our Journey-AIR travelscope. The HD is built a little thicker too so it is more stable and balance is less touchy.
TT190	In Progress	16" F/4	Zambuto	TT/Classic	January 2019*	Michele K.	Ontario, Canada	An upgrade from a mass produced telescope which left them wanting more, this customer decided they wanted a "turn key" instrument. As we always do, this telescope will come fully integrated and set up with all of our most popular upgrades. This will be a great instrument since it will be combined with an equisite Zambuto primary mirror (on thin 1.25" Quartz substrate).
TT189		20" F/4 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Classic	May 2018	PAC	Arizona	Custom designed and built for the Palominas Astronomy Club (PAC) in southern Arizona, this telescope serves as the centerpiece of the club's roll-off roof observatory. Once they become "Qualified Observers," any member will be able to use the telescope for their personal observations in the observatory. This telescope also travels to some California and Arizona star parties.
TT188	In Progress	14.5" F/5	Zambuto	TT/Classic	January 2019*	Martin R.	Italy	This telescope will be the customer's primary instrument for use at his dark sky location in the Italian Alps. Spec'ed out with a slightly longer than usual focal ratio (F/5) this telescope will provide exceptional contrast at the eyepiece under dark skies, allowing low surface brightness objects to pop from the background sky.
TT187		12.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Journey-AIR	August 2018	Tammy R.	Oregon	Due to a freak accident where her other telescope was destroyed, Tammy had us build her a new telescope. She took this opportunity to "spec out" one that is more suited to her exact observing requirements and requests. That included a telescope that could pack down small and be easily handled by one person.
TT186		16" F/4 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Classic	December 2018	Ken C.	California	An outstanding optical set (Zambuto primary and 1/30 PV Antares secondary), when combined with our most popular mechanical upgrades, makes this an amazing all-in-one package. Upgrades include GoTo/Tracking from the ServoCat system and the Powered Groundboard (PGB).
TT185		22" F/3.3 (Gallery)	Ostahowski	TT/Sub4	August 2018	Vladislav M.	Massachusetts	A major aperture upgrade for this customer from his premium refractor telescope, this 22" has full GoTo/Tracking, along with all of our most popular upgrades including a Filter Slide, Feathertouch focuser, aluminum bearings, etc.
TT184		14.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Classic	October 2018	Danny L.	North Carolina	A return customer, this 14.5" telescope is his large aperture instrument and his previously purchased 8" STS will be his "grab and go" scope. He will be able to swap his DSC controller box back and forth between scopes as each one has our encoder package.
TT183		20" F/4 (Gallery)	Ostahowski	TT/Classic	July 2018	Bob S.	Florida	This big scope is a great all around instrument on deep sky objects and the planets with its exquisite primary mirror hailed by Terry Ostahowski as "The best I've ever made!" This is also one of our most aesthetically striking scopes with its Ebony wood stain and Nickel/Chrome hardware package.
TT182		16" F/3.8 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Journey-HD	April 2018	Steve J.	Maryland	This telescope is housed in the customer's dark sky site observatory, but will be transported from time to time. Hence, this highly portable nature of the Journey product appealed to him. For tracking this telescope sits atop a "Crossbow" equatorial platform.
TT181		14.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Classic	September 2018	Rocco P.	New York	The customer plans to use this telescope extensively for public outreach with the Rockland Astronomy Club (RAC). He wanted at least moderate aperture yet a telescope small enough to be quickly loaded and unloaded from his vehicle. Also, the tie-dye light shroud from Shrouds by Heather makes quite the impression at these public events.
STS77		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	May 2018	John W.	California	One of our most popular telescopes, this STS utilizes a Zambuto primary mirror and has a Feathertouch focuser along with the Nexus DSC unit.
STS76		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2018	RAS	New York	Purchased by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Astronomical Society (RAS) for use by their student membership. Every Saturday night the RAS hosts a public observing session on the roof of their physics building. This telescope is an outstanding optical performer with a Zambuto primary mirror, 1/30 PV secondary from Antares and full OTA velvet lining.
TT180		16" F/4 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Journey-HD	August 2018	Peter T.	Ontario, Canada	This customer was looking for a telescope that could be easily managed by one person yet provided ample aperture. The round lower assembly, versus our standard square box, was also appealing to him from an aesthetic standpoint. Upon delivery he couldn't believe how much lighter this telescope was than his 12" mass produced solid tube telescope.
STS75		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	April 2018	Sean M.	Massachusetts	Another of our STS telescopes finished with our "Green Vein" OTA powder coat and Ebony wood stain. The OTA was made 6" longer than usual to give additional blocking of ambient light into the optical pathway. This is a good modification for those who observe in light polluted areas. This telescope also utilizes an outstanding Zambuto primary mirror with outstanding contrast at the eyepiece.
STS74		8" F/5.7 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	May 2018	Stefan B.	Oregon	This telescope is a great planetary/lunar telescope and will show the showpiece Messier and NGC objects with great detail. The Zambuto primary mirror will provide excellent contrast and sharp images. The customer plans to take this telescope camping with him and his family as it takes up little space in their vehicle.
TT179		12.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Journey-AIR	August 2018	Robert W.	Pennsylvania	Another 12.5" Journey telescope for which the customer has many trips planned, both domestically and internationally. This one will also come equipped with the Nexus DSC system. The customer also purchased this telescope so he could sit at the eyepiece more frequently than his does with a larger scope.
TT178		18" F/3.7 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Sub4	April 2018	Taylor Observatory	California	Commissioned by the "Friends of Taylor Observatory" for the Taylor Observatory located near wine country in California. This telescope is used for public observing nights and by members of a local astronomy club. Outfitted with upgrades like the ServoCat GoTo/Tracking system and the Nexus DSC system, this telescope is fully automated.
TT177		14.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Classic	June 2018	Dan M.	Utah	To be used in the customer's dark mountain skies at around 7000' elevation, this telescope has many of our most popular upgrades such as an awesome Feathertouch focuser, ServoCat tracking system, Nexus DSC, iPad Stalk, etc. It is finished in our Cali Red wood stain and Nickel/Chrome hardware.
TT176		16" F/3.8 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Journey-HD	April 2017	Dave A.	Pennsylvania	The first 16" from our new Journey line of telescopes to come off the "production line." This scope breaks down into small chunks so no single piece weighs more than 40 pounds, which is remarkable for a telescope of this aperture.
TT175		12.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Journey-AIR	January 2018	Michael V.	Wisconsin	Another 12.5" Journey telescope for which the customer has many trips planned, both domestically and internationally. This one will also come equipped with the Nexus DSC system.
TT174		12.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Journey-AIR	February 2018	Ted W.	Taiwan	The second 12.5" offering from our new Journey line of ultra portable telescopes. This telescope will "journey" its way to Taiwan and around to the various dark skies in that area.
STS73		10" F/6 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	April 2018	Eric S.	California	This telescope is an awesome planetary instrument with its ultra smooth Zambuto primary mirror on Fused Silica Quartz substrate (0.7" edge thickness). The full interior black velvet lining also enhances contrast at the eyepiece. The customer intends to do a lot of public outreach using this telescope, specifically on planetary and lunar targets.
STS72		11" F/5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	April 2018	Aduanne C.	Pennsylvania	This telescope replaces the client's former mass produced solid tube telescope that is much heavier and bulkier than this STS. His mass produced scope is also more complex and time consuming to set up and take down in the field. He is purchasing this STS chiefly for its simplicity and optical superiority.
TT173		16" F/4 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Journey-HD	April 2018	Doug B.	Michigan	This is our TT/Journey prototype in the 16" aperture. After having several other telescopes over the years with varying degrees of quality, this client wanted one final telescope that encompassed all of the positive aspects he enjoyed most from the other telescopes he owned, but all wrapped up in one premium instrument. This telescope is the first to utilize the new larger aperture thin Quartz material (only 1.125" edge) from Zambuto for the primary mirror substrate.
STS71		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/STS	September 2017	James N.	Michigan	This client kept his STS simple, with no electronics other than the primary mirror cooling fan. However, he did go unique on the OTA exterior powder coating finish with a deep, high gloss, purple color. A first use of this color for us! Do you see more purple or blue? Depends on the lighting, actually!
STS70		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/STS	September 2017	Max L.	Connecticut	This telescope was designed around another equisite Lightholder Optics primary mirror. Upgrades include the Nexus DSC unit and the Moonlite dual speed focuser. An upgrade from the customer's existing 8" mass produced Dobsonian this telescope will allow him to delve beyond the usual showpiece Messier deep sky objects.
TT172		15" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Ed Jones	TT/Custom	December 2017	John S.	North Carolina	The client had an array of telescope parts already in his possession, including the primary mirror, focuser, finderscope and DSC controller box. We designed this telescope around those parts, some of which he had for 20+ years without having had an opportunity to do anything with them until finding us.
STS69		10" F/4.7 (Gallery)	Pegasus	TT/STS	June 2017	Stanley K.	Connecticut	A professional painter by trade, this customer is purchased his STS telescope with a completely unfinished base and tube cradle so he could apply the color pattern of his choice to contrast against the Red Vein OTA he selected. He ended up doing a wood stain on the rockerbox similar to our Cherry stain color, and a pebbled black paint to the tube cradle and two altitude bearings. We think it looks pretty slick!
STS68		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2017	Dale C.	South Carolina	This telescope utilizes a Zambuto primary mirror on unparalleled Fused Silica Quartz substrate for ultra fast cool down times to ambient temperature. Other upgrades include a Feathertouch focuser and SkyCommander DSCs.
TT171		20" F/3.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Sub4	June 2017	Larry S.	Texas	Aftering seeing TT124 at the 2016 Texas Star Party, the client decided that telescope was almost exactly what he wanted from a large aperture premium telescope. This Sub4 has all of the best upgrades installed including a Feathertouch focuser with SIPS (Starlight Integrated Paracorr System), ServoCat system, Nexus DSC unit, Glatter Cable Sling, etc. And, the best part is that it fits in his Toyota Prius vehicle, with room to spare!!
STS67		8" F/5.7 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	January 2017	Julio B.	Wisconsin	Like many of our other 8" STS telescopes, this too utilizes a Zambuto mirror on 0.7" thickness Fused Silica Quartz substrate, providing quick cool-down to ambient temperature and a superbly smooth optical figure. This telescope has our Red Vein powder coat on the OTA, a sharp look against the Cherry wood stain.
STS66		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2017	Garrett S.	California	The client was looking for a great all-around telescope for planetary viewing, deep sky viewing with wide fields and would be easily portable but quickly set up in the field. This telescope utilizes the new Nexus Digital Setting Circle (DSC) unit.
STS65		8" F/6 (Gallery)	Orion	TT/STS	October 2017	Paul A.	Florida	Potentially acquired as more of a showpiece than an astronomical instrument, this telescope will be on display in the customer's living room for their many guests to see. It'll be taken out occassionally on the balcony to view the Moon and Planets.
STS64		8" F/6 (Gallery)	Meade	TT/STS	December 2016	Charlie P.	Connecticut	This telescope was built for my 7 year old first-cousin-once-removed, Charlie. While he may be young, he has a budding interest in science, and specifically space. His parents wanted to get him a really nice instrument, but not spend a ton of money. Our bare-bones 8" STS fit their needs nicely.
STS63		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2017	Dave M.	California	This client jumped up from a 5" refractor as his main observing instrument and wanted a telescope easily portable and quickly setup, hence this 11" STS fit what he was looking for nicely. We built the Dob base slightly taller than usual to accommodate a taller balance point because a heavy binoviewer, filter slide and powerswitch will be utilized on this scope.
TT170		18" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Classic	October 2017	HAF	Norway	The Haugaland Astronomiske Forening (HAF), an astronomy club located in the southwest portion of Norway, contracted us to build their "Club Scope" for use by all members at their dark sky site. This is a very basic non-automated scope to keep the learning curve low so it is accessible to all levels of expertise of their many club members.
TT169		18" F/4.2 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Custom	May 2017	Rick S.	Maryland	After much correspondence with the client and review of raytracing programs, this aperture and focal length were decided upon as the best combination when considering eyepiece height at zenith, secondary mirror size (3.50"), illuminated field and central obstruction. This is a stunning all around instrument, great on planets and deep sky alike. This customer also requested a custom "Royal Blue" exterior (black interior, of course) light shroud to compliment our signature Cherry wood stain.
STS62		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2017	Sam W.	California	This telescope was purchased as a secondary instrument, used when traveling away from home. He also owns TT127, a 16" F/4.5 TT/Stark, for use on his property. This 11" STS utilizes our Red Vein powder coat for the OTA and our new Ebony wood stain for the structure. This is a sharp looking scope! And, optically sharp and contrasty as they come.
TT168		18" F/4 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Classic	August 2017	Michael G.	Arizona	With dark skies north and west of Tucson, AZ, this customer decided he wanted large aperture, sharp optics and a rigid structure. According to him we are building his dream telescope. Wow! This is the second telescope we've built that utilized our new Ebony wood stain, but this time with black hardware (and some small brass accents).
STS61		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	January 2017	John B.	Florida	This telescope serves as the customer's primary instrument, an upgrade from his current mass produced 4" SCT. He decided to invest in a telescope that he states "will be THE telescope I use for the rest of my life." We're honored! Plus we think he picked an awesome color for the tube! This is our first "Green Vein."
STS60		8" F/6.7 (Gallery)	Customer Made	TT/STS	January 2017	Anthony R.	Texas	After grinding it several decades ago, this customer decided to send us his 8" primary mirror to have a STS structure built around it. The structure features our Red Vein OTA powder coat finish.
TT167		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Ostahowski	TT/Journey-AIR	January 2017	Tom C.	Massachusetts	Looking to move from a bulky, heavy and outdated cardboard-tube commercial Dobsonian, this customer had us transfer the Celestron/Ostahowski optics into a new lighter weight, more transportable, Journey structure.
TT166		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Journey-AIR	September 2016	Rod G.	Montreal	Because he lives in downtown Montreal and does not own a car, this customer needed a highly portable telescope of modest aperture that could be transported via the community rental vehicles available in town. This will be his primary instrument and the first since leaving the hobby 20 years ago. Welcome back!
STS59		10" F/6 (Gallery)	Ed Stevens	TT/STS	May 2017	David B.	New Jersey	This customer was able to find the Ed Stevens primary mirror from TT38 for sale on the used market. There were several observing reports stating that this mirror exhibited phenomenal images at the eyepiece, which our original testing notes confirm. At some point, the mirror and structure from TT38 were separated and now the primary mirror has become the center piece of this brand new STS telescope.
TT165		12.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Journey-AIR	May 2017	Carson B.	California	Based on our 11" Journey telescope, we've reegineered the structure to accept the larger 12.5" primary mirror. Because it still has the same outside dimensions as the 11" Journey this telescope is also fully airline transportable as checked luggage (and carry-on for the primary mirror). This telescope is "powered" by an incredible 0.7" thickness Quartz mirror from Zambuto.
TT164		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Journey-AIR	February 2017	Alan P.	California	This telescope is the customer's grab-and-go telescope and will be stored and transported in our Hybrid Hard/Soft case, also known as our "Observatory in a Box." The entire telescope, with room for other accessories, is kept in one case with wheels and a telescoping handle.
TT163		15" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Classic	October 2016	John K.	Utah	This is the customer's primary instrument and was purchased after he saw one of our telescopes in action at a local star party. This one employs upgrades like a Moonlite dual speed focuser and SkyCommander DSC's.
TT162		10" F/7 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Planet Killer	April 2017	Warren W.	New Jersey	This telescope went to the same customer who previously purchased STS 27. This Planet Killer will provide higher contrast and have a longer focal length (therefore greater magnification for the same eyepieces) than the STS, suiting it better for the planets. This telescope is our first Truss-Dob stained with our new Ebony wood stain.
TT161		18" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Classic	September 2016	Ashirwad T.	India	This is the first Teeter's Telescope to be sent to India. It was sent in two large wooden crates via door-to-door Air Freight Service. This instrument has upgrades such as the SkyCommander DSC's, a Moonlite dual speed focuser and Glatter Cable Sling to support the lower edge of the primary mirror.
TT160		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Journey-AIR	January 2017	Brittain B.	Massachusetts	This telescope will be the customer's grab-and-go telescope and have upgrades including encoders and a Nexus DSC controller box. Further, this will be the first Teeter's Telescope to be done with an Ebony wood stain.
TT159		20" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Classic	October 2016	Franklin L.	Florida	For those not adverse to using a ladder while observing, the 20" F/4.5 could be the best combination of large aperture and slow focal ratio (relatively speaking, of course!) that takes the most advantage of local "seeing" and atmospheric conditions. This scope has all of our most popular upgrades and is a superb optical instrument.
TT158		18" F/4 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Custom	April 2017	Rob N.	Arizona	Featuring most of our popular upgrades and accessories, this telescope is being built around what will be an equisite primary mirror from Zambuto Optical Co. At F/4 this scope will still feature stunning optical quality yet allow for wider field views and a lower eyepiece height (and less need for a ladder) than others.
TT157	$tt157\$	12.5" F/5 (Gallery)	Ostahowski	TT/Stark	September 2016	Eric S.	Pennsylvania	The customer came to us already having a set of optics (primary and secondary mirrors) crafted by Terry Ostahowski. Looking to keep the total cost of the structure to a certain amount, the TT/Stark line gave the customer the flexibility they desired.
TT156		14.5" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Stark	September 2016	Don P.	Ontario, Canada	This is an extension in our TT/Stark product line where we custom designed a telescope to the customer's specific aperture request (14.5") despite it not being one of our standard TT/Stark offerings. This allowed the customer to save some money on the base cost of the telescope and add in only the components he specifically wanted.
TT155		18" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Classic	May 2017	David P.	Arizona	This telescope was purchased as the center piece instrument in the customer's observatory located in the dry, dark, sky of Arizona. It features all of our most popular upgrades including ServoCat, Aluminum Altitude Bearings, a Wooden UTA Liner, Feathertouch focuser, etc.
STS58		8" F/5.7 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/STS	December 2016	Susan B.	Virginia	This customer was looking for a very nice, high quality, custom made and highly transportable scope she could handle by herself in her small vehicle. The 8" STS met her needs exactly. This is also the first telescope to use our new Magenta wood stain.
STS57		10" F/5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	October 2016	Jim P.	Texas	Our first Ebony wood stain telescope. We think this looks really sharp against the Red Vein powder coat of the tube assembly. Upgrades on this telescope include a Supremax mirror from Zambuto, a Feathertouch focuser, SkyCommander DSC's, etc.
STS56		8" F/6 (Gallery)	Orion	TT/STS	June 2016	Matt T.	Michigan	This telescope is our client's very first real telescope. He says he uses it on his backyard patio, near his coi pond, to relax and casually observe the night sky. He wanted a telescope that combined a quality, long-lasting, structure with known (but not necessarily premium) optics. This was one of our In-Stock telescopes, thus was ready immediately for him to purchase.
TT154		16" F/4.5 (Gallery)	GSO	TT/Stark	December 2015	Lowell Observatory	Arizona	This scope was purchased by Lowell Observatory (along with TT152 and TT153) to be used as a public outreach instrument.

TT151		14.5" F/4.8 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Custom	June 2016	Keith F.	Texas	The aperture and focal ratio were determined to be the largest aperture and longest focal length the customer could use without needing a step ladder. The Zambuto primary mirror is a slumped (backside) version of the 0.7" thick Quartz substrate commonly used in our smaller telescopes. This adds necessary rigidity to a very thin mirror (compared to its diameter).
STS55		8" F/6 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	October 2015	Paul D.	New York	This telescope is built built around components being supplied by the client which he collected over time. This will serve as his quick set up, grab and go, instrument. "Paul D", as he is listed here, is actually Paul Dellechiaie. Paul is the optician at Tele Vue who designed the Ethos, Delos and Delite lines of eyepieces that so many of us have in our eyepiece cases.
TT150		11" F/4 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Journey-AIR	March 2016	Shane B.	Idaho	This customer does a fair amount of traveling and thus wanted a telescope that had moderate aperture, a wide field of view, could be packed for airline transport and was of the highest optical quality. So far this customer has taken this telescope with him to Hawaii and the Canary Islands.
TT149		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Journey-AIR	March 2016	Fritz K.	Indiana	This customer's primary observing location is his front yard. He needed something easy to carry because of back issues and wanted a scope that could be quickly set up and thermally equilibrate. The TT/Journey will suit his needs well.
TT148		10" F/7 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Planet Killer	November 2015	Doug M.	Virginia	This telescope, built around a 0.7" thickness Quartz primary mirror from Zambuto, gives outstanding planetary and lunar images at the eyepiece, as well as being highly portable for such a long tube assembly. This telescope also features a wiffle-tree lower edge support system, necessary for a mirror this thin in a Truss-Dob structure.
TT147		12.5" F/6.5 (Gallery)	Lockwood	TT/Custom	November 2015	David C.	Ontario, Canada	This telescope was built around a primary mirror that is only 1.1" thick and is a super planetary and double-star performer . It utlizes our Maple stain with Black hardware package and features our Wooden UTA Liner option, stained to match the rest of the scope.
STS54		10" F/5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	October 2015	Ryan L.	California	This scope is another fine example of our STS line paired with a 10" F/5 Zambuto primary mirror completed on Quartz substrate. This customer sent in their own existing Feathertouch focuser for us to reuse on this new structure.
TT146		16" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Classic	April 2016	Ian H.	Ontario, Canada	This telescope utilizes many of our most popular upgrades including SkyCommander DSCs, Moonlite Dual Speed Focuser, 1/30 P-V secondary mirror, etc. This will also be our first Truss-Dob to have our new "Cali Red" stain application.

TT145		15" F/5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Custom	July 2016	Nigel E.	British Columbia, Canada	This telescope, despite the large aperture, is a real "Planet Killer", "Cluster Buster" and all around exceptional optical instrument. The F/5 focal ratio allows for a stunning primary mirror, yet keeps the focal length short enough to still allow for wide field observing.
STS52		8" F/6 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2015	John L.	California	The customer sent us some existing components they already had and we built a new STS structure around them. They included an 2000 vintage Zambuto primary mirror, Feathertouch focuser, secondary mirror, etc. This scope also utilizes our new "Blue Vein" powder coat on the OTA.
TT144		12" F/5 (Gallery)	GSO	TT/Stark	August 2015	Joseph D.	Massachusetts	This is our first 12" TT/Stark telescope. The client chose this product to fit his specific budget and because it will provide him with a high quality structure and decent quality optics from GSO.
STS51		10" F/5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	May 2015	Chris C.	Ontario, Canada	This scope will be another fine example of our STS line paired with a 10" F/5 Zambuto primary mirror completed on Quartz substrate.
STS50		8" F/5.7 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	November 2015	Stephen S.	Washington	Complimentary to a few smaller refractor telescopes already in this client's possession, this scope is for the big, bright, showpiece deep sky objects from the client's suburban back yard. He did not want a larger scope, feeling that for his type of observing that 8" was large for his preferences.
TT143		16" F/4.5 (Gallery)	GSO	TT/Stark	June 2015	Jim C.	New Jersey	Situated near the Delaware Water Gap, this client's home observing location is among the darkest left in New Jersey. He is getting back into big aperture observing after a hiatus and our Stark product line fit his needs perfectly.
TT142		16" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Custom	July 2015	Gene R.	New Jersey	This scope was built for a customer who has ground his own primary mirrors before and was looking for an optically superb telescope. We've put together an incredible observational package that will be sure to provide stunning images. Lightholder supplied an excellent primary mirror and our rigid structure with dual boundary layer fans will keep the primary mirror working at its full potential.
STS49		8" F/6 (Gallery)	GSO	TT/STS	March 2015	Alex C.	New Jersey	This is our first telescope to utilize our new "Cali Red" stain color along with a silver flecked powder coat on the optical tube assembly. This customer, while being extremely new to amateur astronomy, opted for the much less expensive GSO primary mirror and is extremely satisfied with the optical performance.
STS48		8" F/5 (Gallery)	Customer	TT/STS	June 2015	Curtis J.	New York	This is the same customer as TT109. He ground this 8" mirror in the 1980's in classes held at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. He had it in a modest structure but decided he was ready for an upgrade to a more modern design. This telescope features our "Blue Vein" powder coat on the OTA, a Feathertouch focuser and SkyCommander DSCs.
STS47		10" F/5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	February 2015	Dean S.	Minnesota	Much like the other 10" F/5 STS telescopes we've built utilizing 0.7" thickness Quartz mirrors from Zambuto, this telescope is optically oustanding and aesthetically striking.
TT141		10" F/5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Custom	April 2015	Phil L.	New Jersey	This scope started out as a rebuild of the customer's mass produced Dobsonian but after replacing the original stock mirror with a premium Lightholder primary mirror this is essentially a new build from the ground on up.
STS46		11" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2015	Thomas K.	Michigan	This scope utilizes a Zambuto primary mirror on 0.7" thickness Quartz substrate. The scope also uses one of our custom color OTA's - "Blue Vein," a combination black and blue color pattern.
TT140		16" F/4.3 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Custom	July 2015	Gary E.	New York	This customer decided, apparently after 17 years of having a telescope like this on his "bucket list," he wanted big aperture, simple set up (no setting circles or GoTo) but the best primary mirror available. We put together an outstanding 16" that totally fits the bill for him.
TT139		20" F/3.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Sub4	September 2015	Howard R.	North Carolina	This customer is switching from a more mass-produced compact telescope to a more robust and solid Teeter's Telescope. He plans to travel the country from Star Party to Star Party with his scope in tow. As with many scopes of this size, this one is outfitted with our most popular upgrades including the ServoCat GoTo/Tracking, Feathertouch Focuser, SIPS, etc.
TT138		16" F/5.4 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Planet Killer	July 2015	Chuck Z.	Oregon	This scope, due to its long focal length, only has a 16% central obstruction, putting it squarely into the "Refractor" like images category, but with 16" of aperture! Get ready for details on Jupiter like never before.
TT137		18" F/3.7 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Sub4	July 2015	Jeff H.	New York	This scope has it all - every upgrade we offer to make it this customer's dream instrument. ServoCat GoTo/Tracking, ArgoNavis DSCs, Filter Slide, Feathertouch Focuser, SIPS, Powered Groundboard, etc.
TT136		15" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Classic	May 2015	Brian C.	Wisconsin	Outfitted with our most popular upgrades, this scope will be an awesome performer in the field. Glatter Cable Sling, Moonlite Dual Speed focuser, Powered Groundboard, etc. Look for this scope annually at the North Nights Star Fest in Minnesota.
STS45		8" F/5.9 (Gallery)	Orion	TT/STS	February 2015	Joshua S.	Indiana	This scope features our signature Cherry Stain with Black Hardware package, but to add a unique touch to it we worked with the customer to find a more unique OTA powder coat color..."Red Vein." An eye-catching textured red/black finish on the OTA against the darker red of the Cherry stain with black accents makes this one of our most visually appealing STS's.
TT135		16" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Stark	March 2015	Jim K.	Nebraska	As with TT134, this scope is an upgraded version of our bare-bones 16" Stark. By going "a la carte" on the components, this customer was able to put together a high quality instrument while saving money in the process.
TT134		16" F/4.5 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Stark	March 2015	Dan D.	Nebraska	This scope is an upgraded version of our bare-bones 16" Stark. By going "a la carte" on the components, this customer was able to put together a high quality instrument while saving money in the process.

STS44		11" F/5 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/STS	June 2015	Doug C.	Florida	This scope utilizes a Fused Silica Quartz primary mirror of only 0.7" edge thickness and yields outstanding images at the eyepiece. It also cools to ambient temperature extremely quick. We removed some of the cutouts in the rockerbox in order to lower the center of gravity to make this longer scope less top-heavy and more stable on uneven ground.
TT132		10" F/4.7 (Gallery)	Zambuto	TT/Custom	May 2015	Phil H.	Indiana	This scope is a rebuild of a 10" F/4.7 Orion solid tube Dobsonian with a refigured Zambuto primary mirror. The customer needs the telescope to pack away smaller, hence the conversion. Plus, the TT/Custom will utilize much higher quality components than the stock Orion structure.
TT131		12.5" F/4.8 (Gallery)	Lightholder	TT/Classic	April 2015	Sam C.	Virginia	Sam had a Lightholder primary mirror and some other parts already in his possession and was looking for a telescope manufacturer to build a structure around it.

The Veil Nebula is simply outstanding when this scope is equipped with a 21mm Televue Ethos eyepiece and OIII Filter. Wow!
STS38		10" F/6 (Gallery)	Royce	TT/STS	August 2014	Chuck K.	Florida	This scope utilizes a customer-supplied 10" F/6 R.F. Royce conical primary mirror and is the first of this aperture and focal ratio we've done in an STS structure. The large, square, cutouts were omitted from the base to increase rigidity and stability of the base with an OTA of this length.
TT124		20" F/3.6 (Gallery)	Kennedy	TT/Custom	July 2014	Mike P.	California	This scope is fully-loaded with all of our upgrades including built-in Paracorr II coma corrector (SIPS), Feathertouch focuser, ServoCat GoTo/Track, SkyCommander, etc. It will be used frequently near the Griffith Observatory in CA and under the truly dark skies near Death Valley, CA.
