Just wanted to say your scope looks very very nice. It looks much better than a typical commercial dob with a tube, especially with the "tube cradle" design. Thanks for sharing.

A few questions on the nice DOB.
1. Is the tube a sonotube, or a "quick tube", or where did you get the tube.
2. What type of mirror cell?
3. Does the tube cradle have tension screws on the bottom too, or just the top.
P.S. show us somemore photos to tell the story.
