[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 970144, member: 243342"] I never seem to finish my projects, so here's another one. A sort of a continuation of the Laminas/CM one but more focused on the motorised aspects of it. I have this pretty nice heavy duty Precision polar mount that was originally attached to a Precision 1.2m PF dish. As it seems pretty heavy duty, I am going to try and universal-ise it for use with various dishes by just changing the dish side bracket, so, I want to be able to fit my Laminas, Channel Master offset and the prime focus dish that I have to it without losing alignment as all I will have to do is change the dish and its declination. Metal work ordered already... Here are some starting pictures of it that I took last year. I will put a new frame on top of that (marked in red) along with some mount points at the top for the declination jack. Not quite sure what the swing will be but hopefully it'll be wide enough to cover 53E to 58W. [ATTACH=full]92900[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]92901[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
