New shroud & cover for my dob

For less than $100 worth of materials from Spotlight, & the efforts of my darling wife, I have a new stretchy black light shroud & cover for the UC :-) The next two things to fix are the truss tube mounts on the mirror box & UC. Both are still serviceable but quite 'home built' & susceptible to damage. I'm thinking about the quick release UC clamps from Aurora Precision (http://aurorap.com/prod-cage-truss-clamps.htm) and making some quick release plywood clamps for the mirror box. Alex

Good looking shroud, very professional. Your wife looks like she knows what she's doing. Complements your beautiful telescope nicely.
