1.5" would have been cheaper but was too close to the 1 1/8" size of the Gaunt mount. |
Ah ok, cool, thanks :-) 50mm shaft does seem very large, I'll probably aim more for about half that if I ever get around to starting mine.
Updates looking good, and you must be excited being close to finishing up if the Christmas target is still on schedule.
How does the altitude adjustment work?
