Tell me did you make your own spider for your newt,just curious.
cheers

Thanks Skelty, yeah the spider is totally homemade from some 2" aluminium bar for the hub and stalk and 20 x 3mm flat for the vanes, has 3 resistors inside the stalk to give it about 1/2 watt heating to stop dew. Works well but does give a bit of diffraction..

Here is my reprocessed versionwhich I am much happier with...
cheers Gary
