I wonder how much to ship a mount from here? or do you pick up

Mine may come to you having been chopped into little bits with an axe.

And Jimmy I have a mount design which is rather good but based on an English equatorial rather than a German equatorial.

Grendel a member here put it in a competition and apparently it got second prize for being wonderful or something.

The key features were dual bearing support for the RA axis and a disk rather than gears enabling a "gear radius" of some two feet...I figured such would improve control and accuracy.
