A big box of focusers was waiting for me on the porch when I got home yesterday.
Objectives are still in-transit. I had several on-hand, but had to order more to take care of everyone who requested a scope. I already have the Baader solar filter material.
This weekend I'll hopefully finalize the design details. I need to put together a prototype and test the little optical windows I obtained. If they flunk the quality test, then I'll probably locate the filter in-contact with the rear objective element, but a location at the bottom of the dewcap (glare shield, in this case) in front of the objective will offer quite a bit of protection from accidental damage.
Stay tuned.
