Repurposing...
This was the 8F8 R/N Astrograph with wired spider I built a few years back but it was superseded by other projects. It got converted to an 8F6 with a replacement mirror a little while ago but still sat in the workshop unused. So it just got remounted in a DOB configuration. I may replace the wired spider as it's a fiddly thing to adjust and then sell the scope to fund another project to yet be decided. The new DOB base is on a ball bearing lazy susan table and the whole scope balances perfectly even with a 2" EP in the focusser.
