Rolf, a couple of questions.
Did you come up with a weight for the scope ? Asking because long term I intend to probably 'copy' your design for my own setup using again my existing 10" mirrors and spider.
Is it also still holding collimation well ? If it proves robust enough I'd possibly be modifying to also sit in a DOB base. A pair of ( removable?) quadrants on either side of the central cage might allow an easy transition. I don't have a Ob ( yet ) and this plan is over the next two years maybe.
And second: Do you sheild the primary from stray light. I thought of using a lightweight ( black card maybe ) tube inside the truss above the mirror cell. Or does the Ob installation make that unnecessary ?
Still the nicest ATM scope I have seen.
Cheers
Brent
