Thanks Andrew.
Yes the construction was one thing but I was in front of the computer nearly every night for a couple of months trying to work out the design before that.

how do you find the moonlite connecters?.. I'm getting better with them first few times I had poles going everywhere .. they are great though i find
collimation very close every time i set up.

The moonlite connectors are one of the best things to come out for ATMer's!

Looking forward to some more reports on first light without beer goggles lol

Well done Ed!

Thanks Rob,
It is nice to see the whole thing assembled and the design is certainly different from a Newtonian.
One thing that I won't go back to is the Teflon friction bearings. I'm hooked on the sealed bearings.
