Steve, great job on the battery setup
Any Idea how long the 10 Amp Hour battery will run the mount for? Should be quite some time I would imagine.
I know you can slide the cradle side to side for fine balancing, but is the shaft in the center of the battery's weight from top to bottom of the battery? Maybe that is not really critical.
How do you balance the Counterweight/Battery against the OTA? Shorten one leg of the tripod and slide the counterweight shaft in and out?
Nicely executed. I think I will have to try something similar and get rid of the fixed power lead situation.
Thanks for the thread and photos.
