Hey Rob,
Thanks for your reply. The size wasn't a real concern, I live in a very dark part of the country (so I don't need to go to a dark site) and being a resonably strong lad the size isn't as much of an issue. Given the views of the eight inch I was thinking that the additional magnification and light gathering ability would be great.
Just trying to decide whether or not this is a completely crazy idea - my wife thinks so. Also thinking that I would go with a 'string truss' design for added stability - considering that the focal length will be in the order of 4 metres
Thanks again...
