Hi all

I have a 6" Newt with a GEQ mount. I recently purchased a Orion Mak-Cass and am now using the mount for that scope instead.

I would like to build a Dob mount for the Newt OTA - any ideas where I could get plans for one.

Thanks in advance

Found some stuff on the net for this - but how practical is this idea - anyone have experience in converting a newt ota to a dob mount.
