Examples of Schaefer Mount Setups

Here are some examples of people using Schaefer AT mounts in the US. Just to give you an idea of the mount capability.

These are smaller models (i.e. AT8) and mine can hold even more weight and larger size scopes.

Yes the Cas in the photo at the bottom is a C14 on a smaller AT8. Imagine what you could place on this mount!

This mount is super smooth and steady, no matter what the load! Imagine the images you could acquire with this mount and a huge Newtonian (18" + ) or a Cassegrain (16" +). This mount will allow you to fill all your 'aperture fever' needs!

In a permanent Ob's setup, this would be the ultimate!

Thanks

Gavin
