Nice scope fella

Are the cords to stop the cover falling into the light path or are they dual purpose as in a tension system for the truss poles?

Hi Damian

You got it first time. The rope is to stop the shroud falling in to the light path.

Thanks Pete

I had obviously had the same thought about something similar for when my scope is finished. Glad to see it working on a practical scope
