Now we are up to date until about a week ago.. I guy I know took my forms and did the CF baffles for me. He does it for a living and saved me doing my first attempt.. I must try it myself though as I am sure once I use it once I will find many uses for it.
I then had to attach the baffold to the scope.. I machined a ring that sits at the front of the baffold support and has 6 bolts to hold and allow collimation of the baffold.. You can see from the picture that I also milled out the side of the mirror cell. This it to aid airflow from the fans around the mirror.
I also machined an adaptor on the backplate which mates to the FLI PDF focuser.
There is a shot with the baffle attached as well.
