16" 85% Complete :P
Here are some latest pics of my progress.
Still have to attach the bearings, balance the scope and then finish it( which will take at least 2 weeks to cure fully)
I wish I had more spare time to finish the darn thing as Jupiter is at a great position near my house just teasing me to look at it.
My only issue is the truss connectors I used. I have my doubts as to whether or not they will hold the collimation as well as they should. They are the moonlite ball and socket connectors. If I had to make the scope again I would have probably gone for the more solid/rigid connectors.
