Historical Mount
Came across this little gem on a recent trip to Melbourne.
A falling weight appears to drive clock work type mechanism. The owner believes this mount may have came out of Melbourne Observatory but has no knowledge of its history. Comes with its matching 4" refractor that was buried under a pile of antiques so, I couldn't get a good look at it.
Wish I had more time to study it.
Cheers
Deeno
