First Light For Stringscope
Well my stringscope achieved 1st light tonight (2nd light for mirror). I had to recheck focal plane position before fabricating the "string" truss assembly. What better way than starlight from Alpa Centauri.
Jobs completed:
Upper tube assembly.
Mirror box.
Electrical panel.
Major jobs outstanding:
1. "String" truss assembly.
2. Altitude bearings
3. Recoat primary mirror.
4. Rocker box.
5. Lots and lots of little jobs.
Cheers,
