Hello all,
I am attempting to build a 10" newt for my eq mount and wiould like to use rotating ring's. Does anyone have plans or ideas on how ro build these rings. I found some for almost 500.00 . I think I could get by for a fractioin of this cost I I build them. Any help would be great. It would help to use when the tube would need to be turned instead of standing on a stool or crawling on the ground. I think most of you know what I'm talking about. So Please HELP!!!
I'm starting another 6" dob with a focal length of 60 inches, which I plan on using as a planet scope. This wont take too long to build, then I want to start the 10" F4 and have a little fun building it. I have found that building scopes is the best medicine I have found for my nerves, and winter time is the best time for me to do this as it's kinda dreary during these months. Any help would be freat. Thanx in advance,
Darrell Hensley
