Merry Christmas (to me! )

Well, I finally got around to building the truss for my 14" Discovery dob optics. It still needs some tweaks, but it's close enough that I can get it back out under the stars sucking up photons. Nothing fancy, just your basic truss made from the parts off of the Discovery dob and the rest from Home Depot and McMaster-Carr (threaded knobs).

Looks great! I'm curious, what did you use for the light baffle in the secondary cage, wood veneer? It doesn't look like the usual black Kydex.

In case you haven't noticed, I took a little different direction with my 14" Discovery Dob, see the "Equatorial Cradle" thread.

Harry,
That looks very nice, what is the secondary cage material? I notice that you used square tubing, I assume that allowed easy assembly and flat mounting points?
