Where is Mark up to with the mirror?

Yes Rod, I think thats the default colour offered, and I have no complaints as I think it looks great.
The mirror was finished at end of April. Most of the wait time for that was obtaining the blank. once mark had that, the mirror was completed in about a month.

How tall will the eyepiece be at zenith?

181cm which happens to be my standing eye height wearing shoes.
Funny that
The mirror focal length was chosen just for that reason.
You might notice that the mirror box looks taller than on some other truss scopes. This is because the alt bearing need to be higher up to balance the thinner than normal mirror. The thinner mirror will cool in 70% of the time of a full thickness mirror as normally used in obsession scopes.
