Just in case anyone is wondering whatever happened to this project.
Well, I had to focus on more urgent jobs but I did not completely stop working on it.
Firstly, I made a new focuser with a 26mm focusing range. The CDK focuser I used initially, had only 16mm, which is more than enough for an astrograph
but a planetary scope needs to accommodate a variety of eyepieces as well as various camera/filterwheel combinations.
I also finished the new primary mirror using the Borofloat 33 glass blank.
Plus I 3D printed a clip-on cover for the secondary.
I still have to make a dust cover for the primary.
Hope to start some lunar test imaging soon.
