Description

Not much to say here.  This is the first “mod” for Hadley (and other such telescopes), which is an intrinsically modular system.  It was very highly requested, so I tested it on a heavy refractor I made in the same telescope footprint.  

I haven't used this much, but it comfortably held a telescope much heavier than Hadley for a long star party.

Bill of Materials:

  • 2x 6" tube ring, dovetail, whatever else you need.  I don't actually have an equatorial mount, but if you're here then maybe you do.  I'm trusting you know how to attach stuff to it.
  • 6 x M4 x 15mm machine screw, 6x M4 nut.  (#10-24 should also work)
