Hi Patrick,
No formal plans I am afraid, lots of inspiration off the web though. Mirror second hand through IIS (20yo Meade), repolished and refigured by Mark Suchting.
Operational weights (kg):
Rocker box 9
Altitude bearings 2.7
Mirror box incl 4X2.2AH SLA batteries
dew heat controller cables etc 25.4 (batts weigh 4 kg total)
UTA 2.8
Finders & misc 1
Weight excl truss 40.9 kg
The scope has 2 truss configurations:
String truss 0.5
Tube truss 2.8
Complete operational max weight excluding eyepiece 43.7 kg
Note: There are no counterweights required or fitted.
Cheers,
