Diag seems to have stuck well so made up a temporary focusser till I build/buy the Crayford. Dropped the spider & diag in place and did some simple alignment tests. Looking good.
So then I got real brave and put the primary onto it's base. Stuck it down on the Velcro and squirted three Silastic buttons around the perimeter against the limiter brackets. We're away for the weekend and the weather looks dud anyway so it can cure and I dont have to resist temptation to fiddle with it before it is cured properly. Covered on the bench.
Few more pix.
