Last night was last light of the old 16" today came out a better / more stable /no movement / perfect balance totally different scope with the addition of 3 extra struts

Collimation now holds spot on when pushing and pulling it.

Many thanks to Trevor for the time and work he thoughtfully put into it.

All that left is to make a whole new rocker box ,get some turned knobs made up to replace the wingnuts on the struts, and paint the nuts on the inside of the lower and upper OTA,S

The primary and secondry mirrors were not inside the scope during the modifications.

And waiting on the encoders to get the argo-navis system setup
