I have finished sanding the tube and have given it two coats of epoxy resin, I'll wait until I'm nearly done before I do the final coat and polish. I've also finished the spider and it's really rigid and strong, next job is to mount the focuser (I splurged and got one
)
I'm planing on having two sets of attachments where the mirror cell holder attaches to the tube, one set for visual and one set for imaging. Does anyone know how much further in the imaging attachments need to be?
It's good to get back on the newt again after working on cooling my camera for the last few weeks, I have ordered the EP's and mount, an Ioptron i45, hopefully I'll have it all finished before Christmas.
Thanks for all the encouraging comments everyone,
it's blown me away reading them, I'll have some more pics for you soon.
Cheers
Jo
