I.D. this Televue mount?

[koputai (Jason)]

Hi All,

I'm hoping some Televue fan out there can tell me what this mount is,
and the accesories it has fitted. I know it's a Gibraltar, but which one?

Funny thing in this picture, is the Televue scope, mount etc, but the
eyepiece is a Vixen!



Thanks,
Jason.

Jason, Check with FlashDrive, it is or was his scope and mount in the piccie.
Looks like a Gibralter with encoders on a Vixen pier extension.

Yes it's my Mount ... it is a Vixen HAL130 Tripod and has a Vixen Extension Peir ( ~ 8'' inches in height ) attached to it.
Mounted on top of the pier is a TeleVue Eyepiece Caddy... fitted out with Encoders for ' Push To ' Operation.... Argo or Sky Commander

It's basically a ' Hybrid ' Mount ... made up of Vixen and TeleVue Parts....it's very very easy and smooth in operation.

The TV76 Scope shown in the photo was ' sold ' a little while back...

Flash ....

That's a lovely setup Col, nice and neat, and looks perfectly functional.

Thanks very much for the piccies and rundown. Bintel appears to not do
Televue mounts any more, they've dissapeared from their website. Next
time I'm nearby I'll drop in and take a look if they have any.

Many Thanks,
Jason.
