powered by 4 AA Batteries Plug can also work in the Paramount |
The bracket
easily attaches to the focuser. Different sized O-Rings can be used by rotating the motor. |
The tubes I
use are made of spiral wound fiberglass held together by epoxy resin. These tubes are extremely ridged. That's 260 lbs on that tube! BTW, it was -8 when the image was taken. |
This is my
latest addition. I hope to have some images with it soon. |
