[Averton (P and C)]

We have a small 130mm F5 Newtonian table top scope. It is mounted on a simple Az-Alt base. We wish to provide tracking and had seen the Poncet, Gee, D'Autume etc platforms. Whilst these look good their design was to be low height to keep large scopes from being too high to get to the eyepiece. We actually wish to raise our scope (ie place on a table) to use comfortably while seated. So we have come up with a design with similarities to a barn door tracker.



We are hoping that this will be successful for our needs.
