Its a 22" F4.5 newt, a project I have been working on for a couple of years between "life events". I now have the OTA pretty much done and hope to have the mirror mountings sorted shortly.
The OTA is a modified Serrurier truss pretty close to the 200" Hale in appearance and really rigid. Completed, I am estimating 90+ kg, but the torque is going to be a bit much for My PMEII.
I've built big scopes before, including a 29" so I am aware of the issues involved in this scope. I like the English fork and have built a few in the past but not this big. Hence... the fishing trip. I'll check those links JA.
