[ATM] Diagonal Holder Design

[hermit at outofoptions.org (Ken Lowther)]

Looks ok for smaller scopes.  I don't think it would scale well for large
scopes.  Especially the support would be way too fat.  The threaded rod will
case one larege diffraction spike from the looks of it.

The standard spider offers less obstruction because the 3 or 4 individual vanes
are less area.  I'd say a lot less from the looks of this...
