detailed plans??
hi everyone,
i just got myself an 8" Dob mounted F6, and am about to start off on the two sector eq platform. i came across the excel sheet for the calculations, but had a few doubts. could someone please help with plans or diagrams for the platform.
variables in the sheet are height of c.o.g, base size, and then A and B. how do we calculate A and B.
i'm in melbourne, so how do we apply lat 38deg. 38 deg from azimuth or horizon. reason i ask is some eq mounts have 90 deg markings at azimuth, some have at horizon which is a bit strange.
i wanted to get started with the platform first and then get to the electronics. woodwork is not a problem.
i was planning on using small bearings and transfer bearings as per the original plans.
but some diagrams and plans for australia would help.
thanks
