420 posts in 2.5 years, I guess I'm a shroomery slacker...
Anyways I just spent the last 3 hours writing up my resume.
The place I'm trying for builds CUSTOM telescopes
This is the base model... 10 inch f/9 Ritchey-Chrétien... $14,920

And this is the high end, used for tracking missle launches.

That would be a killer job! Do they give out discounts on telescopes for being an employee?

yeah this would be the career for me.
I've been into astronomy for as long as I can remember, I LOVE telescopes, and have been working on machines and robotics for the last 3 years..so pretty much I already know the components of a high end telescope/mounting system/servo motor controls.
These guys are contracted by the U.S. Military specifically NORAD for scopes to visually track satelites and missles.

I thought this one was pretty cool too. Purchased by the U.S. Air Force and used for tracking "Space Debris"
