I have at last made some more progress on the CAS Tak:

OTA finished.

Damage to tube repaired as best I could.
Covered in star patterned cloth with 6 coats of Estapol on top. (Estapol coats have taken all week and lots of heating in the garage). 14 of the brightest stars from Crux applied to the opposite end of the tube from focuser unit.
Interior is fully lined in flock paper.
Refitted end rings, focuser, steering handle and secondary spider (optics are safe in storage).

Cheers,
