Nice mods skysurfer.
Unfortunately, I am truly terrible at handwork and tinkering.

It gives crisp nice images and is suitable for astrophotography.
I only modded it by replacing the too heavy dew shield and tube rings to let it weigh 4kg instead of 6kg. But it fits within the 55cm carry-on limit when the focuser is removed (easy). Last summer I took ik with me to South Africa and next summer I'll take it to NZ.
