I would rather buy a f2.2 fl mirror than make it...someone mustt sell them...I think surplus shed had something years ago but maybe not.
F2.2 on hand made home made carbon fiber rod housing...I wonder if you could lead up jusr three maybe four carbon fiber poles to where the camera sits?

Well, a cassegrain mirror simply is an f2.2 or whatever mirror - if you could make ne, then it would work just as good as a hyperstar (with the corrector and cameta at the secondary position of course) Or maybe you could use a diagonal?
