TAAS's One Meter Blanks Come Home

It had been in the works for months...  18 1meter telescopes mirror blanks were given to TAAS from Pennsylvania, all we had to do was go get them  TAAS's Bob Hufnagel took the bull by the horns, and brought over 2 tons of glass home.  Here are the pictures...

The Trip

Bob Hufnagel build the crates for the mirror blanks, and made the trip alone.  While underway, TAAS members were able to track his progress, with the aid of his amateur radio equipment.  Pictures by Bob Hufnagel.
