Paul,
I'm currently making a 3D weight system for the scope which will have full length travel and then vertical adjustment, I made the brackets for the guide scope which work quite well and compared to the price of an original Meade item I think it's time well spent.
I'm also making a stainless steel dew shield 1.6mm very thin and very strong professionally rolled and welded then painted in Meade blue (helps being a spraypainter to match the colour), will cost about $150 not bad compaired to Meades $460 out of Bintel.
Thats enough waffle just thought you might like to see a shot of the observatory so far, the pier is 220mm steel, the roof and top half of the walls slides East and West, should be complete about this time next week all going well
Hope it's clear over your head
Mick.
