When I finish the current imaging project I'll put it up on the mount and see how it goes with the 1200D for a starter.
Photo is from about a week ago, it now has a light shield around the mirror. Still has the wire suspended secondary.

Nice work Brent, love to see people getting off their RRRs and building stuff.....
These days it's all too easy to just buy without any DIY input.
I love building stuff..... I am in the midst of reincarnating Mark Hodson's 18"F3.5, Mark's DIY build was very solid but too bulky for my needs so a little modification is going on with that.
Keep the pictures flowing
