I finished my conversion of a Discovery 10" DHQ to a portable nested truss scope. The conversion cost approximately $200 in wood & parts and took about 80 hours of labor over a 2-month period. Now I'm thinking about converting my 14" PDHQ to a nested truss. Too many projects. Too little time. :-(

Harry,
That is quite a nice looking rig. Looks very compact.
