Lovely job on the 8" Ian

Thanks Rob. That is good to know you can bend it lengthways, where do you get the 0.7mm ply from BTW??

UTA has now come off the former. Focuser and truss attach points fitted. I am leaving the masking tape on for the moment to protect the ply surface. 2.6" secondary and 4 vane mount has been ordered from Protostar.
