That was a long time ago Steve, sure has been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
Those legs are now on the base for the trapezium mount that I hang my 15 x 70 binoc's on. The legs on the chair started life on the the mount that my 16" is currently on, before I shifted my observatory. They look similar but this set has 3mm wall thickness and are overall a lot sturdier.
It really is amazing the various astro bits & pieces that have accumulated down the shed.
I totally rebuilt my original 10" as a Dob to take to the SPSP years ago. Ended up swapping it for a 120mm refractor on, I think a Eq6 mount.
Regards
Trevor
