Now time to do a visual optical test to assess if there are problems with collimation or pinching of the optics etc.
The visual star test was good. no obvious optical problems and the simple collimation system works. Baffling seems effective as well.
The picture shows the raw milled OTA on the Paramount. Note that 25mm aluminium tube is being used for the struts here - carbon fibre tube comes later.
A few more posts to come later showing the finishing stages.
