Now that I whipped up my 10" F5, I'm toying with the idea of converting my Meade Starfinder to a truss dob. First problem I envision is balance problems due to length. Anyone out there built a 6" F8 truss dob? How'd it turn out? I'd rather avoid couterweights if poss, but due to the low mirror mass, might be more difficult. The 10" recipe won't apply. I guess make the mirror box longer is one option.
In case anyone wonders why I would wanna do it, just because ;-) Really to improve my woodworking skills.
