Not real pretty at the moment with unpainted parts and some duct tape because I havent drilled and tapped the hole for the grub screw yet, but it works great and the Sun looks amazing!

Congratulations and well done!
I'm sure you'll get some great views and far better resolution than the original PST.
Look forward to your first images...

Thanks for all your advice and that great write up Ken. I would still prefer better fine focusing but this will do for know.

Yeah,
The Borg Helical focuser #7315 seems to be becoming "the weapon of choice" in a Stage 2 mod....

Yes I looked at that.. It comes out of the BF10 fund tho.. I wonder if anyone would be interested in buying a BF5 blocking filter in a brand spanking new coronado diagonal lol
