Hi Wavy,
This is one for a light baffel outside the light path as you suggest. Yes in my 10" the diffraction spike is big, but at the same time I'm rarely looking at bright objects. Tnott mentioned he uses a signwriting corrugated plastic board as a light shield on his scope. I'm contemplating using the same for the baffle. Thoughts?
By the way, I've changed the focuser on the 10 to a 2" focuser, also low profile helical. The change in image quality was immediate. M42 looked like billowing smoke.
Thank you all for the encouragement. Blue Skies told me "it will take longer than you think". I initally thought "no way! I'll get it done by the end of January". Tick-tock, tick-tock!
