90mm Octagonal achromat

I have previously posted pictures of this ota. I recently made a tripod for the Vixen GPD2 and have been able to use the scope with slow motion controls as opposed to the previous alt-az set-up.

The ota uses 4mm gaboon marine ply. The hardwood is tassie oak. Lens is an Antares 90/1500 from Hands on Optics. Focuser, diagonal, 40mm eyepiece and 8x50 finder are all GSO parts.
