Ah ok it’s an early MK65 with the cemented secondary mirror. Now I understand about the helical focuser. Later versions had a modem star diagonal and the handle on top of the OTA.

Congratulations Lewis, this is only the start. Push this to the max on the moon and planets and look carefully, very carefully. I’ll also suggest you consider making a dew shield for this that extends 150-200mm, it will enhance contrast near bright objects (Jupiter and the moon especially).

I bet your Taks will turn a shade of pale green.
