Hi all! It's been a while but now I'm at the stage where the optical section is near completion.
Just briefly, I have finished the tube sections in gloss black. The plywood rings in Mahogany, and the struts in polished aluminium, which I will allow to slowly oxidize over time. All the strut mounts are made from aluminium.
I just need to fit a friction brake for the declination axis.
More pictures to follow.
Cheers!
