Hi Guys
I have inherited one of the Foco telescopes that this thread began on, and was wondering whether it is worth trying to build a dobsonian mount for the tube. I don't have the budget for a new scope (yet) but would love to use this for 6 months or so just to get into the groove while I build up the savings for a proper scope.
As the OP said, the mount is useless, and even the most minor focus adjustment will cause the target to vibrate uncontrollably for 15-20 seconds. Would a dobsonian mount made from a lazy susan and a plywood box be better than this? That way I can spend money I have now on eyepieces and enjoy this one for a while until I can afford the one I really want...
Thanks for your help!
