In my blog you can find out what I did to this GSO 12” CF tube model: https://astro.galleria.fi/blog/
Jussi,

Extraordinary! Though in fairness I'm a bumbler-fumbler and your work exceeds my aspirations. Your comment re Planewave should be taken in context, your experience at Astrophotography delivers competence that I have only in dreams.
Jussi, love your blog, sumptuous is an apt adjective. Unfortunately I've a degenerative neurological and can't travel, O' how I wish I'd seen Finland before falling ill, your blog get me close.
Cheers
David Duffy
