Except for the telrad and finder scope bracket the UTA is finished! grin

Thanks Dave B. for suggesting the soldering iron for the focuser hole, it worked great.

My mirror cell should be done by next week and then it's on to the mirrorbox.

Emailed Ed Stevens and he said my mirror should be delivered within the month.

Hi Jim,
That looks really good. Glad the soldering iron worked out for you. I have never tried that before. Did you use the hole in the focuser board for a guide when you cut it?
What focuser is that? It looks very nice too with a two speed reduction I assume?
What size is the Stevens mirror?
