Fullerscopes Telescope Mountings

This blog has become my ATM design, build and imaging diary. I have recently built several new telescopes, a large equatorial mounting and a raised 10' [3m] dome on an octagonal building. Be aware that I deal with building solar telescopes. Which are potentially VERY dangerous! I can accept NO responsibility for any action not directly supervised by myself. You are NOT entitled to blame any other person for your OWN lack of skill or ignorance. You copy me at your own peril!

Wednesday 25th Afternoon start after connecting up new PSU and fuse box. After an hour the temperature measured by the probe inside the case had risen to 60F from 40F.

14.18 45/42F Thin cloud and white glare. WL image using 90mm Vixen f/11 and Lunt 1.25" wedge, no GPC. Had to rotate, flip and crop the image to achieve correct orientation. Surprising detail given the haste, cloud and poor seeing!
