[FlashDrive (Poppy)]

I recently ' withdrew ' my Orion ED80 from sale with the bright idea of ' customizing ' it.
My idea is to remove all components... focuser / dew shield / optical lens /...etc ... go back to bare metal, choose a colour .. probably powder coat it ....manufacture a ' handle ' for it ...would be bolted on top of a ' rail ' secured on the ' OTA's rings ' ..... and so on.

I've seen plenty of ' dob and newt' custom job's ... some very good one's to.
Has anybody customized their Refractor from its original state ...?

Any links to previous threads relating to this would be appreciated .. or photo's you have of yours.

Ideas also welcome ......colour etc ...what you might do yourself
