This here a photo of a 6" Dob project that I have been working on for a few months. The tube is from a Stargazer Steve 6" telescope that was never completed. I sold the mount and then built this new mount. The mount is a little rough now, but after some sanding and varnish, it should look better.

Good effort

I just finished a 6 inch f-6 for a friend and tested it last night.

Optics went well an excellant startest and supern alround performance.

I used sonutube and a square base Similar system for the side bearings. I cut some PVC(160mm and glued formica on them.

Did you do the mirror and is it f-9?
