Totally off topic but, I'm thinking of building a style of Gregorian/Folded Newtonian telescope.
I have a 6" f/5 parabolic primary. Think of a folded newtonian, but instead of a flat secondary I want to use a spherical secondary. I'm having trouble figuring out what fl secondary to use. I'm thinking it's going to be a 2" spherical w/ a smaller flat diagonal, as well. This is just me brainstorming. I've got the newtonian design already for this primary, but am bored with it already. I am losing illumination w/ the bigger secondary, but I can't afford a bigger primary. I'll probably get at least an 8" primary, or 10" some day, but for now this is what I'm working with. Any suggestions.

(drawing not to scale, obviously)
