Free to good home.:)
One home-made wood and steel dob mount to suit a 10' f4.9 Saxon or similar.
It does need some attention, and a coat of paint. The optical tube sits in a cradle and is secured by a pair of ocky straps..(the tube can be rotated for viewing comfort)..this sits in the base which rotates on a 305mm lazy susan bearing. The altitude friction control is by tightening a nut on either side.
A booster base with leveling feet comes with a guide for point true North..(you will need a spirit level and a directional compass)
Eyepiece height at zenith when using an f4.9 dob 1165mm, with height booster 1455mm. Weight:- cradle+base+booster= 25.5 kilos.
Remember, it will need a little attention and would suit someone who'd use this mount and keep the OE at home.:thumbsup:
This is a pick-up only and I live in the Northern Suburbs of Melboune.
