Starting work on the optical sections from the components in the last photo.
I drew up a full sized plan using A3 paper taped together and used this to calculate the length of the trusses, mirror box, various clamps and mounting points.
The benefit of this is to ensure that the optical design is keeping with the mirrors' F/L.
I decided on an open truss with an adjustable top section which can be moved towards the primary mirror 50mm to allow the focuser to accommodate for cameras, etc.
This design will allow me to rotate the top section in 90 degree steps to position the focuser wherever it suits.
More to follow!
