Well, it's done! 2 baffles installed; a new 4 inch aluminium tube Matte black inside and white enamel out; a Bintel Crayford focuser installed and only a dewshield/external baffle needed. I have a pair of 120 m guide rings I can use but would prefer a close tight fitting set one day. Haven't decided where to position a guide scope either.
Overall, I'm fairly happy with the optics. I plan using it for lunar/planetary initially but in time, I might try some NB imaging with it.
Thanks for the hints and advice.
