have to have lights scott or you cant see it might put some buzzers on it as well and a barbecue just for you

17/8/16 is the date they gave me for the mirror, lets hope there right. they explained a lot to me so im happy to wait top people

it was a good guide the uta was similar but truss tubes are way to long which is good, will have to wait now for my mirror to cut them to length

realy didnt know anyone was watching this build hence no update, as dan says no news yet, all encoders are finished and fitted just finished making a dew controller as well so thats to be fitted next , the optics heaters are made so just a few wires left to be fare to 00 they have had a bit of a hold up which i cant discuss but they said it will be worth the wait, and if you consider what they say about 00 in the states an equivalent mirror set from you know who will take around 8 months. they have also told me that i can lend a dob if i want. which is very kind of them
