Got a few more hours in the workshop today and look what I have now.
She is up on the EQ6, had to space the OTA off the bar as the cage interfered with the bar clamp knobs.
Then I got some white card and fabricated the Upper Cage baffle and the 'Light Bucket' for the mirror cell. I have bought black card as well to line the inside and it will get a matt black spray job to really finish it off and seal the surface.
I then slung the mirror cell fan on a nylon spider.
Then I ran out of time.
Next will be diag, focusser and I stll need to make the primary mirror edge supports. I also want to make a new cradle for my DOB base. I want to be able to use this in a DOB configuration and it will be so much easier to do first light collimation and tests.
I'm going to have to slow down my astro projects a bit. Caused a bit of grief at home with the time I have spent on it recently so the Ob project will probably be put on the back burner for a few months anyway. Trying to do too much too fast.
But I got a bit of a go with my DSLR on the EQ6 on Friday night till about 1 am Sat morning. Haven't had a chance to go through them yet but got quite good alignment in and first glance is showing nice round stars for 20 sec exposures.
