Rob,

Sounds great!, I am looking forward to seeing your scope finished.

I'm making a secondary cage that will be painted flat black inside. Haven't thought
about the possibility of using flocking paper as I'm looking at ways of keeping
the weight to a minumim. Since my first project is turning my 8" newt into
a truss Dob for my boy's to use. Secondary cage weight is a major problem
with a scope so small. The weight of the focuser and finder and an XW or
nagler...etc...etc makes a big component of the weight.

regards,CS
