new UTA for my 14"
I have tried to take my mind off Melbourne's weather by rebuilding the UTA on my 14". This time I've gone for a curved spider, made from two laminations of 0.025" brass shim. The baffling is a sheet of 1mm birch ply. Total weight of the UTA & spider is 1kg (less focuser, secondary & finders).
Photos attached if anyone is interested in the approach (especially if you're looking to de-Kydex your scope).
