Let's mount equatorial platform in 15 easy steps


Description shows how to do it using ready to mount elements. The platform can carry on telescopes up to 35kg (about 12" newtonian or other telescopes)

           

On left animation working stage is accelerated about 800 times (in real this stage has about 70 minutes) and rewind stage (from left to right side and has to be done manually) is accelerated about 3 times. Right animation shows how platform looks all around.
