It was never my intention to purchase this instrument. Nor was it to make a straight rip off of the design. What attracts me is the various minimalist design elements. Forgetting the title of this thread?
I'm curious, Clive, why would you say that this design would be plagued by stray light. I can't see this design being any different to any other open tube design. Including Dan's.
At a dark site, by own big dob doesn't need baffling. The 'baffle' I use at a dark site is more of a dew controlling apparatus.
Dan's design, I cannot understand the reason for the massive struture surrounding the secondary mirror. Any other link available to view the scope? The one below is proving problematic with spam coming up when I try to move through it.
