Mirror went in today. An 18 point TS Optics cell that I order some weeks ago finally arrived so I was eager to make some more progress.
Before I completely tore down the scope it was in it's old configuration, I needed to make sure everything was working. The camera was installed, I played around with the truss lengths and focused the camera as low to the tube as possible. I measured the distance from mirror base to the center of the focuser hole. I transferred this distance onto the new tube and drilled holes, installed the cell and put the mirror in.
I hope it all works and focuses as it should, no way to tell until you try it all under the stars.
