Well it's back together now mostly. Still have to fit the finder which is drying.
I've attached a pic of the serial# plate which was very corroded. I cleaned it as best as I could and sealed it. Very fitting for Frankenstein.
Mostly spent the week finishing off flocking and painting inside but last night I put the spider back in, the secondary cassegrain mirror and the primary cell.
Used the Hotech to align everything and a circular howie glatter pattern to center the secondary. I don't have the TAK collimation tools yet so that'll do for now.
Maybe I can have a look into it tonight and do a quick star test. Will definitely look at some trees and TV antennas today though.
