other parts:

1. rear flange and barrel assembly - this holds the primary mirror and the field flattener lenses - took a while to get the design thinking right here.
2. the primary cell is a simple 9point system with push-pull bolt collimation. A flange at the base of the primary baffle tube holds the mirroe down with a cork washer in between.
3. the secondary conical baffle was TIG welded from aluminium
