Progress
Well, we had a whopper storm through here yesterday so no yard work for me today. Which means TINKER TIME.
Here are the progress shots. The basic scope is now assembled and ready for alignments and collimation.
The images below include a side-on of the primary from which you will see it is a full-depth beast and, not surprisingly, weigh a ton. But the primary cell is quite strong and I believe it will hold it well enough.
I have yet to make a shroud for the secondary. This needs to be quite long and, according to some opinions, also needs to be narrower as it goes out from the secondary - excluding peripheral reflections being the objective.
