Thanks Mike, that is very kind of you to say
It's funny (and a bit crazy) to think that the only power tools used were a drill, and a jigsaw (for cutting the plywood rings). All alu parts were cut and finished with an old fashioned hacksaw and sandpaper.
It was pretty easy to copy the existing design from the 10" and add some improvements here and there.
Maybe I should consider building to order now.
No shroud yet but I have thought about getting one. It has never really been necessary though
I cannot see any stray light on the chip unless the Moon happens to be shining directly onto the focuser hole. On those occasions I have just turned the scope to another target and all has been good.
I can't wait for some proper clear skies now. Everything is tuned to perfection and there is no coma in sight either. And the Ovision worm upgrade seems to have fixed the guiding issues I had in some of my later images. So, bring on the clear nights!
