gbeal - thanks for the encouragement, I'm leaning towards that option
Mental4astro - Many thanks for the plethora of links and information and your own picture record. Hadn't thought two strut but it's an idea to consider.
I notice your mirror cell is just open to the rear, no fans or heaters required ? Dew is a problem here even in summer.
How do you ensure you don't ding the mirror when you mount the poles inside the cell ?
What cell design did you use ? I'm favouring a 9 point balanced construction but want to make sure the mirror is well held for transport. It may have to lie down in the car on its side although if the cell is short enough that may not be necessary.
How do you protect the focusing gear in transport, it seems rather exposed on the top board ?
Again, thanks for your input. Looks like I may take some time to get the details right. Plenty of options if you look hard enough.
