Eq5 problem.
Hi, I have an Non-motorised, Non-GOTO EQ5 with no tripod base. Have a couple of Options in order to use it, and would like your opinions please.
1. Have an unused AZ mount from a 90mm Saxon. Seems I could use the base of this on the EQ5. Would need to make a sieve to adapt this, think a Piece of Pipe 2 or more inches long. May have slightly different Diameters, therefore may need to mill out a bit of the Pipe, but diameters appear very close. If I did that the AZ mount would be scrap.
2. It fits the hole in an old Wooden Surveyors tripod that I was given -- not sure is there is slop. Would need to make a large thick washer, somewhere around 15mm thick at a guess. Would also need a large flat washer to hold it with the bolt up the Centre.
So guys which way should I go, What would you Do please
