Graig. The pictures and comments of the mods are now on my web at

There are 4 large photos of what I did. With appropriate comments
The Comet slide show was shot using the system on the 10" I had correct focusing around 10mm racked out. Only disadvantage is that you have to use a 60mm extension tube for the EPs'. I moved the mirror on the 8". But have restored it to the original position after I received another GSO Crayford 2 speed today. The Camera was in the 2" drawtube, with a custom made adapter. Later I will add another slide show of all the bits I had made etc.
