ATM Stable Way of Mounting Focuser Board




My 6" f/10 scope will have only a focuser board at the top (no
"secondary cage"). Light baffling will be achieved by running to
parallel poles out the opposite side and attaching cloth. What's the
most stable way to connect the focuser board and the mirror box? An "X"
w/AL poles, a "V" or inverted "V". Or "|V|" or "|X|"?

"|X|"   "|V|"           "X"     "V"

Sorry about the changes in scale, I did the best I could.
Thanks,

There's light at the end of the Sonotube.
