Good luck Steve, I enjoy watching these builds.

The Kreige design may be 'boring' now and a little heavy, but I have yet to see an alt-az design that works better in the field.

Two snippets of advice from me - Oversize the secondary because you WILL do some imaging sooner or later, and pre-drill the rocker box for ServoCat as it is easy to do on the build, and a complete pig to do as a retrofit (and yes, you will get that too, eventually).

Oh, and remember, real telescopes are black!
