Dobson Mount for 114mm reflector

Hi

My Father gave me his old reflector, as I now have something a tad larger, I thought I would put it on a Dobson mount for my better half's Father.

For those who are interested, here are some photos.

There is a 15cm disk of teflon sheet to rotate on.

It looks a bit tall, as it was made to used by a tall man while sitting on a chair.

Seems to manouver nicely and the tube can be rotated without loosening anything.

It has now also been fitted with three feet to stand on and there is a small right angled finder on its way.

Philip
