test Main Sequence Registered: October 2011 Location: WIGAN Posts: 124	After a few t/scopes with not the best mirrors, i did some research and had a good set of mirrors made the 14" giving a 1/17pvw and set about building my own, works great, may be in time with some more reserch i could make it motorised or a goto who knows, But with the help of total strangers from forums like this building it was not as hard as it could of been, a few mistakes but nothing major, Learnt loads just from the build alone, Thx Paul
