VC200L truss mod

[LewisM]

Who did/does the truss mod for the VC200L? Is the person still offering the service?

Failing that, the last VC200L had thinned spider vanes - I bought it that way from David Trapp. Anyone know who did these and if it is still available to be done too?

My only issue with the VC200L (and ANY Vixen reflector) is the THINK vanes causing LARGE diffraction spikes. Yes, I know software can minimise these, but rather not have them as pronounced in the first place! Yes, I know the thick Vxen vanes add rigidity and hold collimation better/longer, but...

The memory isn't all that flash, but I think Guy Flemming did the truss mods a while back. Nice job too, not sure if he does them for anyone and everyone, or just did his own. Do a search, there was a couple of posts on it, and also a for sale post a few months ago.

I had a VC200L many moons ago, and the vanes were skimmed to a "better" thickness or is that thinness, by Brendan, but I think he is MIA??
