I haven't seen any recent progress reports on your Tridob concept.  Are
there any more pictures apart from those taken at a star party a few months
ago? How's it going?

I think the mount is a winner in that it as stable and more simple than a
traditional dob.  The key is that the stability must only reside in the
bottom ground ring - the rest of the mount is flexible on purpose.

As to my two tridobs - the 6 inch is in use and the 20 inch is (still)
awaiting the install of my 6 wire spider design.  I've kindof put it off
for a couple of months because of intensive effort on software.
