6 Inch Dob
I made this 6 inch scope from a used mirror and what else I could find. It's mounted for now on an old Orian EQ1 mount. It's a bit shaky and I plan to make a Dob mount when I find time. The mirror needs recoating but works very well as is.
The mirror mount is a standard 3 point mount using silicon. I have a cooling fan to help due the the baffles.
The baffels were made from 1/4 inch luan plywood. The spider is a 1/4 inch threaded rod and the secondary holder is made from PVC pipe and a round wood knob. The three alignment screws push rather than pull and the wood knob and PVC are joined by a flexable nylon screw. Looks goofy but works very well....
