Looking good im always checking on your progress will be great when you finish it, keep up the posts its very interesting.

These are mine cheap ones i want some new ones looking at revelation 15x70 where is cheapest place get Parallelogram Mounts from please.

Brilliant write up again Damian, enjoying the build dont think i would do it i would either end up with a fruit bowl or an ash tray and no one smokes in our house. Gives a whole new meaning to the daily grind.

I bought a laser found out it was out when my viewing session was ruined mirror was that far out, at the time did not know about barlowed way. I ended up binning the thing after spending two days trying to collimating it went back to Cheshire/sight tube and will never go back to laser here is a guide i used in conjunction with Astrobabys the first time i did it helped me enormously. http://www.schlatter.org/Dad/Astronomy/collimate.htm

This and changing what i was looking for has made my nights viewing more enjoyable and it is all down to Nick who told me this in person im ever so grateful, it has renewed my enthusiasm in this hobby.

My added to case few more eyepieces and Cheshire collimator.

Although i dont have a S C scope that was a very comprehensive and easy to follow write up.
