After being distracted by some heavy work commitments and sidetracking to make a couple of observing chairs I have finally cut some plywood for this scope. The single ring UTA will comprise 2 rings of 18mm plywood glued together 440mm ID and 520mm OD.

3.1" secondary and 4 vane secondary support with integral dew heater are on order from Protostar.

Focuser shelf is a piece of 100mmX50mmX4mm Aluminium angle and I will be using a light weight KineOptics HC-2 focuser.

A couple of pics for what they are worth.

Cheers,
