Not sure you guys ever saw this one. It was a warm up project before the 16" was started. I always intended to make a carbon and aluminum rocker box but the 16 took over my time and interest.

Very nice. I should do something like that with big blue. Big Blue is my 10" f/5.6 dob that is in the least over-built. How hard was it to build? Where do you get carbon fiber?

Thanks

Eric

I really like this design. The truss tube connectors look great. What kind of hardware did you use for the truss tube connectors and the truss tubes? I'm making an 8 inch travel scope, and I would really consider using something like yours. It looks alot like the UTI.
