The mirrors are underway with Mark, Ric. I have two matched 12" f/5 units in the works. I've ordered helical 3-vane spiders from the USA as well as Moonlite truss clamps. I've taken plenty of photos so that Mark and Paul can comment on dimensions - so I can then go and cad-up the box and secondary cages. Once that's done I'll get a mate of mine to turn them out on a Morbidelli CNC wood authoring machine. Should be nice! I then have to come up with push-button controls to wind the mirror co-collimation bolts in and out by stepper motors.

Lots to do.....

Cheers
Chris
