Making+the+new+tube+assembly+and+mounting

Images below are a record of the making of the tube assembly and mounting. The telescope was originally going to be an ultra-light design. Instead, it will be a light weight design. It will be easily lifted into the Volvo boot (V70 estate car) in four main sections. These are the :-


 * 1) Ground board and rocker box
 * 2) Mirror box
 * 3) Top box
 * 4) Altitude bearings

No tools will be required for assembly. The truss tubes and ladder will go on the roof rack of the car. These will be much smaller than required for the TROK.
