ALT - AZ MOUNT FOR A C-14

I HAVE A C-14 WITH A CGE MOUNT. WHILE THE CGE MOUNT WAS OUT BEING REPAIRED AT CELESTRON, I HAD NO WAY OF USING THE TELESCOPE. ATTACHED IS AN EASY AZT-AZ MOUNT THAT WILL HOLD THE C-14. THE BEARINGS ARE HEAVY DUTY AND THE SCOPE BALANCES JUST PERFECT. THE MOUNT CAN BE MADE WITH SIMPLE TOOLS AND IN JUST A SHORT TIME. IT WORKS FINE.

Very cool! Might I say retro, kind of like an LT1 'Vette motor in a 32 chevy pickup.

Hi Bob,
Pretty cool idea for such a large and heavy OTA. I presume the az bearing is a typical dob-style ebony star and teflon, but what are you using for the altitude bearings?

Jim

Great idea! Good job!
I should do that for my C-11, for quick set-up and portability!
