Dang! Wish I could make it. I'll likely be up earlier in the week but I can't make the party itself.

Yes, that's the intention, but I'd be hoping to measure the error after it's theoretically perfect and incorporate that error curve into correcting whatever mistakes I may have made in construction. here won't be anything I can do about slop, but repeatable errors can surely be compensated out of existance. But as another smart cookie said on here; how long do I want the subs to be?
Well, as long as possible - I don't want to be restricted by the mount. It would be nice to shoot at 400mm if I wanted (assuming a cracking good Polar alignment).
