Richard,

Thanks for the construction info on the cell, knowing the sequence is very helpful.  I will probably not have the scope up and running until summer, but I will keep you posted.  The cell will be a 6 point, 3 bar type, your design, if I can figure out how to set up PLOP to design the particulars, or conventional, using the Automatic Cell Design, which I can figure out <G>.  I am also toying with the idea of collimation bolts which adjust by screwing in and out of something like long bodied, flat-topped T nuts RTV'd to the bars.  This would simplify the design a little, since you would not need the springs anymore, if tolerances are tight enough.  I did read the patent, having found it from Tom Krajci's pages.  Thanks to you both for the inspiration!

Rod
