Yes I added the extra rings and also that box section of alluminium to firm it up...I think I will grind off the paint and add some resin...anyways I have various ideas for that scope...I will do my best with it and re think things...if I keep it I still have one more spot for another pier and now that I have refinned my system another pier is no big deal...it's is only a day all up and it is easy work as mostly I am on my belly.
I am just getting ready for all the clear nights that are coming...soon.
And folks the worst that will happen re my health is I will have to spend another two weeks in Lismore at the little flat like last time and go to the hospital for an hour each day for radiation...this time I will take the red car and tour the beaches etc and make it into a holiday...
