[not sure if I should post this in artwork, but this seemed like the place...]

A coworker who's an an amateur astronomer hosted a workshop for people who wanted to build telescopes.  Everybody wanted a clever theme: R2-D2, a giraffe, a surfing penguin, etc.

For me, an arcade game.  And what would be more appropriate than Space Invaders for a telescope?

A few short months later, I got it all together & kludged together some graphics (sharp readers will note that I mixed some Midway & Taito graphics on the same cabinet--sorry, I went w/ the artwork that I could find & download...).

Full set of pics at http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff97/infernolab/Space%20Invaders%20Telescope/?start=all.

Samples attached.

Enjoy!
