I have to confess that I have several projects to attend to, that are concurrent with unpacking stuff and finding a spot for them, after moving home 3 weeks ago. At least I now have a garage / workshop to do the work in.
Not sure if I should list them all as some may be delayed for a while, or maybe never completed because there are too many.
This list doesn't include the little things like making motor focuser brackets or adding a peltier cooler to an uncooled camera.

No. 1- 400mm f 4.5 newt / dob
No. 2 - Re-design / re-build the 250mm f6 newt .
No. 3 - Build the 250mm f4.7 newt, for EQ and dob.
No. 4 - Build the 150mm f8 achro refractor.
No. 5 - 70mm 90* R.A. bino telescope project to work out the mounting
and tube alignment system and assemble. And if the concept
proves viable then possibly an 100mm bino scope, only achros
though.

All these are in spite of the herd of scopes I have already, some commercial , some ATM/ DYI. Need I mention that I like making things and could be accused of being a hoarder by those that don't understand that too much is never enough.
