I am trying to design and build a setup where the whole system can be transported on-site.

So far the prototype is working well and with a bit of strength, I can operate with one person, although my next iteration will be half the weight, maybe more.

Unfortunately, I can only build it for EQ5 tripods. The cost is some time off at the moment, still deciding how to process it.

So far I have asked for dimensions in telescopes that are used for EQ5 in the hope to get a base plate cut out for the next iteration. I place a post, but no responses so far.

I may have to make 3 or more based plates so I expect I may have 3 available as prototypes selling them for cost.

The image is the prototype and seals tight, and been rained on for a month now and still dry. The next version will be lighter and better sealed.
