You can thank me for that one Geoff .

Peter Read and Dave Kreige having both seen my scope with the zipper in the light shroud now incorporate it as standard on all their scopes. I dare suggest a couple more of my ideas ended up in your scope Geoff . eg: the pre routed channels behind the focuser board to run the dew heater power cables ? pre routed channels in the rocker box to run the cat stalk cables ? We have also shared a lot of other ideas

Thats what scope building is all about. Sharing ideas to end up with a better product. Peter has certainly given me a lot of help for which I am very gratefull and ultimately we all end up with a better performing telescope from it.

Cheers,
John B
