Mark,
Wow...... is it a "beamscope"?? what is it??
yes, front collimation access. This design feature allowed me to locate the batteries and electrics at the very rear of the mirror box to provide greatest counterweight effect. They are thermally isolated from the mirror by a sheet of plywood and there are 2 80mm fans for mirror ventilation.
Some of the inspiration for this design came from the Portaball and Teleport scopes; front collimation access, single ring UTA, accessories drawer in rocker box and carry bag.
Photo of mirror box internals. Electrics next post.
Cheers,
