Summary edit
| Description |
home made "german" astro-mount. all plywood, a bit of Teflon and PVC tubes. two steppers salvaged from old scsi scanner. an arduino board. an old Philips CCD webcam, some home made linux software for guiding. used for this pic It has some first-cast defects to be corrected : - the declination axis needs a better balancing, it crosses with the other axis too far from where the optics stands, putting too much stress unbalanced default-weigt. - some dovetail joint fixations are to be added in order to swap optics and balance them easily, it will also add weight ... - and finally, the periodic errors from the the threaded-rods ends are rather strong, I need to find a better mechanical joint rather than a pair of bolts (on the stepper side). |
