Truss Arrives

8 months ago when I heard about the new truss that GSO were going to be making for their 12" scopes I put in an order for just the truss minus the mirrors. I know I have pretty good optics so I just wanted the truss. Well today after a fairly long wait the truss arrived.

Now just from an immediate inspection this is a huge step up from previous GSO tubes. The rear and front assemblies look awesome, the truss blocks are really nicely made and fit together superbly. The carbon truss tubes are really nice to look at and well finished. This is going to be a quantum leap for GSO in terms of finish and market share.

So now to pull the optics out of the old tube and put these in to the new tube. This might take a while as we are getting detailed instructions from GSO as to what is the best way around doing this.

For now here are some images of the truss in detail.
