Here are some pics of the original incarnation, with some cosmetic alterations by my kids and me.
As the Odyssey II is right now, I can only manage to fit the scope into the car and allow seating for me and one other passenger, and very poor visablity around the car.
I also need help in loading and unloading her as she is so heavy and bulky.
I'm hoping to reconfigure her to a more manageable three pole truss design, like that of Albert Highe's.
Below is a site, not of Albert's, but better shows what I'm wanting to achieve:

I am tending to think that if I use hardwood exterior ply, the secondary cage "ring" can comfortably be made from a single sheet of 15mm ply.
I'm looking at salvaging the spider and secondary mirror, the primary,
, focuser, and finder.
The rest of the scope is not much good for my purposes, unless someone might like to salvage these components, once I'm done.
One thing I found, after I collimated her, the secondary mirror looks to be undersized. Is this much of an issue for a visual scope?
