About time for an update on the scope, i have changed direction because of the fantastic idea from Ken on using Gas cylinder rings. So i have bought a pair and decided to follow suit and put the 12" up on the mount and proceed with the 10" as a DOB mount. As the Sampson mount is capable of carrying the scope i thought it was the only way to go.
The 10" is progressing in the photo the tube is almost back to bare metal, i have a new secondary mirror, 8x50 finder and new focuser for it already. Next job is to send the primary mirror away for re-coating while i finish the tube.
I will make a new DOB mount soon.
