  1. HI Peter & Jeremy, Many thanks for your responses. I didnt realise there were 2 different focal lengths of primary mirror. I'll delve deeper! Thanks Paul
  2. Hi, Been researching these scopes. Has anybody actually observered through one, on this site? Considering taking one on. I would appreciate any feedback. Cheers Paul
  3. Hi Folks, It was a shear pleasure to undertake work on this scope for Stuy. A top guy who has had extensive experience with some serious Mak's! I have the 240mm 12.5 version of Zen's Mak Cass creations. Likewise I really enjoyed modifying the scope further in respects to tube cooling holes and custom made carbon dew shield with ventilation opening around the meniscus. Added carry handle to ease mounting. I'll try and add some pics FYI
  4. Congratulations Stu. When you owned your 10" MN & MC it inspired me to upgrade to a 10" MN. I still have my MN78 Quartz for outreach but the 10" Just excels with the additional 3" of glass. Mounted on a wheel out AE "B" mount and lots of counterweight! Binoviewing through this is something else!! Astral Sital mirror version. Feathertouch focusor and tube sliding counterweight so I never have to re-position the tube regardless of weight change at the focuser.
  5. Thanks Stu, Bino with both eyes in the Baader Mk V with a pair of Brandin 24's. Nirvana!
  6. Hi Chris, Yes that was me. I must have sent you a pick of it. It has been finished for a couple of years but have had numerous other projects at hand so Keep meaning to post it officially. Will put a build thread up soon. The lens is an R35 istar and works really well. Luna is amazing with just a slight colouring on the bright limb but none on the surface details.
  7. Finally! The first public airing of my self built 8" F12 frac and alt-az mount. Information and build log to follow when time permits. Aplogies in advance for not being able to comment often to responses. (Oh and one person set up!) Paul
