Leonard: Our club has a 20" Astro Works Newtonian telescope mounted on an equaltorial mount. We use this scope at our public star parties. We want to convert this scope to a goto scope sometime in the near future. The O.T.A. weighs about 200# at present. We are getting a new zerodur mirror donated to the club by Brashear L.P., the maker of the 8.2 meter Subaru primary mirror.
The new mirror will weigh about 50# more than the present mirror. I know we can't send you the mount. We may have drawings, or we can get you whatever you need to do the project. If you are interested in doing this project please email me .
I am including our club website address below. To find a picture of this scope
hit the FACILITIES button on the side bar, then go down to MANKA MEMORIAL TELESCOPE. We have buttons there for different resolutions.
I also hope to get the gear and bracket set from you for my CG-5 mount in the near future.
