1'st post! 17.5" dob

Hi all,

I'm begining plans to rebirth a Coulter Odessy 2 17.5" dob into a truss scope.

I've built a 10" truss dob using two poles, and it works beautifully.

I'm considering a few configurations of 2, 3 or 4 pole truss assemblies.

I've seen a two pole remodelled odessy 2 optics scope, very much like my own.

I'm aware of "racking" when moving such a dob in azimuth.

Any suggestions on an easy set-up and take-down configuration.

I've tried to down load a picture of my 10", Amgab being the accronym of my name and that of the mate who I made it with.
