Hi All,
I have been off line for a while but I am back now.
I have finally managed to get back to this project. I have been distracted by a whole bunch on non-astro matters and what asto time I have had has been devoted to putting together an 8" refractor - see other thread -. After some thought I have decided to redesign the UTA to allow for a 4 sided truss and still have the eyepiece axis horizontal. This evening I cut all the parts, trial fitted same plus a gross error check with the secondary mount. All glued up now. Tomorrow I will fabricate the secondary mount attachment brackets from 40mm aluminium angle stock.
Cheers,
