So, I've roughly finished the tube and it has had two coats of epoxy resin, once every thing is fitted and all the holes are drilled I will give it the final coat and start on getting a nice finish to it. The secondary mirror holder and spider has been finished and painted a flat black, and the primary mirror cell is finished as well. Both the mirrors have been mounted in. The inside of the tube is yet to be lined with black velvet. Over all, most of the big stuff is done and I just have to do all the little jobs and the finishing touches.
Here are a few pictures,
Cheers
Jo
