oh... Yeah... a lot of people wont do that, due to the fact that they bought the SCT to get the long focal length, converting it to F/1.2 (my C11's primary is 1.8) sort of defeats the purpose...

I have thought long and hard about converting the C11 to an open truss setup before... However the tolerances of an SCT system are much lower than that of a newtonian... you'd have to make the truss PERFECTLY the right size...

Not to mention that getting 8~10 carbon fibre truss tubes would not be the cheapest of ventures..
