Thank you Barry. Your thoughts are appreciated. I understand that it is a complex task. But I am learning. I started this project a few years ago but had to put it aside due to moving houses and jobs. Just recently got the bug again. I can see that photography will be very difficult. But I should be ok with visuals.
The whole Dob is placed on a equatorial platform which is adjustable for latitude. The altitude bearing supports are then aimed south. Maybe more of a "equatorial fork"?. RA drive is achieved through the base.

Cheers
Frank
