10" f6.3 Home made Newtonian.

First light.
The initial imaging runs had proved successful so the ota was stripped down to complete most of the remaining work.

All the scopes aluminium components after anodising minus the tube !

The outer edge blackened to minimise reflections past the edge of the primary. Main collimation knobs. The outer 6 studs are the adjustable mirror retainers.

JMI NGF-DX2 focuser mounted with motor and encoder controls. With the camera and filter wheel mounted.

Ready for action.

The remaining work to be done is :-
Fit a secondary heater with temperature control.
Take some really nice images :)
