What's the scope - approx aperture and focal length ?
Where will the eyepiece be ?

If this is a serious project I'd be looking for a mechanical engineer with the tools to do finite-element analysis on how the complete setup flexes and design accordingly.

Amateurs tend to go overboard in areas that don't need it structurally, while oblivious to stupid weaknesses elsewhere, the result being unnecessarily heavy/large and not particularly good in terms of flexure.
