Conversion of a old Fullerscope (ca. 1970) with Servo's and new Encoder for use as GOTO. Unfortunately, the RA axe is bent at the end, but the Mount (about 30Kg) runs very well. Carrying capacity is 50kg. Video runs about 8x faster. The decl. makes 1 revolution in 60 seconds, Servo is only 8 x 3 cm with a gearbox 1:80
