I had first light for the new converted 18" scope last night. Here are the before and after pics.

It's second light for the optics but first for the new truss design so is that first or second light?
Still have a few minor things to fix, but it will be usable for the Shingletown Star Party tomorrow. Assuming of course that a conversion project doesn't affect the weather gods and there are clear skies.
Went from 265 pounds down to 119 pounds and made it so it now fits in my vehicle.
