For sale: my last piece of Astroslew-II alt-azimuth mount
Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2006 5:25 pm
Only four pieces of Astroslew-II were made and this is the last one. Its frame (L shape) is cut from a solid block of T 7050 aluminium alloy (more strength than T 6061), there is no welding, casting or bolt connection at all. Both its altitude and azimuth have 4-inch Teflon padded friction surface that provides stable and smooth glide for your scopes up to 10 to 12 kg. It also uses stainless steel shaft and self-centering tapered roller bearing to make sure that the altitude and azimuth axis remain orthogonal as much as possible.

Dampening time: 0.4 second (tested with Mewlon 210 at 200 X, using Gitzo MK-II 1500 tripod and vibration pad)
The package also includes two brass nuts and one spanner shown in the attached photo.
