Thanks for the replies,

Poorly worded...
I meant that the mirror set would match the refractor component in F/L as well. I thought that the refractor was the D of light cone and the F/L of the larger mirror set.

Read about Mr Seronik's shortly after that post, another very useable design and great use of the secondary shadow I thought.

I have Texereau vol2 for the cass making aspect but years away from my skill levels atm.

I was going to make a few reflector mirrors and then try my hand at a refractor lens. Seemed like it might be an idea to make something with an end plan along the way, on a far smaller scale.

Ps. While reading some of Gary's pages I noticed one of his first scopes was very close in design to mine. A long F/l newt, while I don't plan to keep refiguring till I hit 1/29th wave, I do plan to plagiarise a few ideas from that scope design. SWMBO goes away for a week soon, I am hoping to establish most of the lounge room to polishing and testing while she's gone...
