Installed the mirror cell and tailgate this afternoon. Also installed the focuser
and secondary mirror in the SC, which I'm pretty happy about. The two images
below show the alignment of the first edition SC when I had first installed the
focuser (first pic). And the second edition SC (second pic). The second
editon came out bang on, if only slightly but not enough to worry about, off.
I did the alignment with a Cheshire <-typo eye piece and a card marked up
and stuck on the oppisite side of the SC.
Just need to throw the mirror in and take it outside and see if I can get a
star to focus. My estimate is my truss poles are about 25-32mm too long.
I do have a top heavy problem which I kind of figured would present itself.
regards,CS
