It looks pretty robust and could carry quite a reasonable load from what I can see. A cheap EQ Mount almost ?
Hi ZeroID..

The calculation for the drive can be found here >>> http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...398#post716398

SCP alignment is done using a compass and an analogue inclinometer. Simple stuff... Any other Questions about the mount can be asked in the link provided so we don't hijack this thread..
