The way my old eyes are RMS values mean nothing anyway.
This is as much an exercise in design and construction as a telescope build. It HAS to be better than my cheap chinese 114 and I can rebuild it later if it has major flaws. Easy enough to build another cell, I've already got some more ideas I want to try.
>Phizzy: Nice Work !! Very professional indeed. I'm taking note of your design for future reference. <see above>
