All, I thought I'd share this telescope mount I've been building. Every year for about the past 5 years I’ve been saying “I’ll get this done for February and get some use out of it in the clear winter nights” At last it’s done, now for the clear nights... I bought a Meade 10” Starfinder second hand back in 1997, but never really used it because of the hopeless equatorial mount which vibrated at the slightest touch, and had huge stiction issues. It didn’t even track properly. I therefore decided to take the plunge and design and make a Dobsonian Mount.
