Hi,

What information do you need? I do not have the technical documentation. I can not give you the dimensions, because they simply do not have.

What I can tell you is: I'm usign GOTO system taken from EQ-6 mount, rate is the same, 705:1. For more help I need to know what is your workshop looks like :) You know that lot of different tools You need to build this.

nice im buy my 16" here soon and this is what i want to do with is u got pic of the build prosses and a list of parts? are u useing a meade or celestron controler? is it goto or just simple tracking? or is it only push a botton to move ? please let me know i am vary interested

[grabngonuts]

Thats the way to go! James Keeley insisted on a large reflector for Mount Wilson, and thats how Visto Slipher photographed external galaxys. Hubble compiled data from three spectrum photographers to come to the conclusion that external nebula were galaxies.

Very nice rig! Homemade mount? It sure doesn't look off the shelf.

[hasspol]

@6scoper Thank you. A real homemade mount. 2 years I worked on it and still being tested.

IS the telescope yours? And have u tested it on planets :D? to see how well it tracks?

[hasspol]

@Edsan91

All setup is mine. Still in testing, it is a telescope for galaxies and nebulaes, and track is on quite high level.

Soon I will publish some photos from this setup.

[Edsan91]

@hasspol Awesome! :O that would be great! I can wait to see them!

[Edsan91]

Actually its like $1,849 right now. But its still a bargain.

[Edsan91]

Dear Santa....this christmas I want... :D Haha na but seriously!!!! This is my idea for the future right here. I mean a 16 inch lightbridge is like $1,500 its not that expensive! compared to its brother the meade ACF lx200 Schmidt. at $13,000 So its quite a bargain in my opinion. How much was the whole setup as I am interested in how much it cost. Also is it great for imaging with a dslr camera at F/5? And you should upload videos of the planets from it!!! it would be awesome.

This guy is too modest to mention that he designed and built this thing from scratch..
