Mark thank you so much for sharing your equipment details.
I built a fork mount to do almost the same, it carried the 235 mm reflector (1800 fl) and had a 6 foot diameter polar disk.. it was made of junk and served as a prototype. The new one (started 3 weeks ago) will not have a polar disk but I am hoping to add gyroscopes to assist stability and tracking.. there are digital "gyros" available which I am only now looking into.. But I do appreciate the problem re cost of a decent mount and as presumptious as it may seem I think I can build a very good unit.. maybe it will take me a few more proto types but the entry price in this area says its worth following up.
Thanks again
alex
