Thanks guy's

Well it's first star test was excellent, it was nice to look through a scope
again. I've trimmed the pole too short by about 5mm for my longest FL
ep's. But no great problem there as I have a couple of fixes. I'll need
to add the counter weight to help balance things up when the finder
scope is attached. I really like it's movement compared to earlier versions
as some people say smooth as butter. Jake is pretty happy with it which
is the main thing. Just need a nice clear night and perhaps build an
adjustable observing chair.

Now I can focus on getting the parralellogram mount finished

Here's a few pics of the evolution of my scope/optics.

regards,CS
