Above photo taken down the length of the carbon fiber
OTA tube, showing the 10" primary mirror. Thermal comparisons
can be seen here. |

The three main areas of faint light coming in behind
the primary are from the fan holes. Once fans and a high flow
air filter is added, no light will be able to enter through the
back plate. |

Three large diameter, four-winged collimation adjusters. |

Assymetrical mounting hole pattern on BackPlate allows
dusting/cleaning of the main optic without the need for large
collimation adjustments once reassembled. |
