Toot

of course a project is never truly finished, and now I still need to:

• install the new mirror cell

• replace a warped spider

- actually I should probably reprint the whole telescope out of PETG (it's PLA now) so it doesn't melt in summer heat

• Make a more stable mount; this one is a bit wobbly

- crossbar on the bottom?

• the mirror is so heavy that after balancing there isn't much sticking out of the bottom side so I can probably make it shorter, too

@hillexed why are there spiders in your telescope? do they help keep the bugs out

@demize the thing with three struts holding the black secondary mirror in the center of this image is called a spider, even though spiders have 8 legs and not 3
