Thanks guys
And welcome Jim, Brendan and I love the Catseye equipment.
Jim, the cell is designed for a 10" mirror, so she's within specs.
Great ideas on the knobs - will upgrade when I get a chance.
I won't be using the stock mirror support clasps. I'd look to use silicone / solastic to keep the mirror in there. No mirror pinching with this approach.
One question please Jim, "cut the support arm lengths to within 2mm shortest to longest"
- so if they're cut, give or take 2mm shorter or longer between all three arms they should be fine? I think that my hacksaw skills can provide these tollerences!
What I like about the Novak is the thermals should be great - air can pass straight through.
And it has double the springs (6 vs. 3) and they're stronger springs then the Skywatcher variety). It is VERY difficult to push mirror once they're taught. Where as the Skywatcher cell can be moved by hand if pushed...
A work in progress.
Regards,
Logan.
