Hi Mark,

Todays been spent getting my dob to give birth to a finder. Now its done. 4.5" f4.44 Skywatcher newt,(with GSO 20mm Superview 70deg ocular). Will spend tomorrow getting all optics lined up, and then I shall be able to sight up on a suitable star, for testing,(I do have a 133LPI Ronchi grating already instaled in an eyepiece), so will give a report at the earliest.

Stephen.
