Building a telescope (part 2)

First light! I got the struts attached to the primary tube and clamped to the secondary cage. The moon was just about perfect and I spent about 20 minutes sliding the secondary cage up and down in order to get the eyepiece to come to focus. Then the holes got marked and I'm done for the night. Tomorrow I'll drill the holes and paint the insides and outsides of the two tubes.
