Star test rig (a good use for old newts)
My optic tester got a nice step forward for my newt.
Bought a solid tube GSO newt the same diameter as my blank, old and trashed for $50.
Plans are basically cut out the middle section. 2mtr poles attached to the base and have the secondary cage slide as required. Gives my star tester a mirror cell, bob's nobs and a full secondary cage and hopefully rapid acclimation for $50 and some dowel/brackets.
Ps. GSO and SW are 200mm and 203mm respectively in the 8". SWer's optical assembly would be better as you can always shim down.
