DannyLee Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi all,my name is Danny Lee and I have just picked up astronomy again after a long break. The new interest was sparked by recently acquired access to pretty dark skies after being in a town centre with all its loverly street lights etc killed my earlier interest but at least I did not get rid of the kit..I have a Helios 4inch refractor on an EQ3 with RA drive,I also have a Skymax 127, just bought a new controller for that after stepping on the old one in the dark around 2007I also still have a Fullerscopes 10 inch mirror set bought around 1979. Will probably get that re-coated and build a mount for it.My other hobby, not weather dependent, is restoring old motorbikes, so I have quite a good workshop with lathe, milling, and full welding kit, so I should be able to make something useable.Looking forward to talking with you all againDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirius Starwatcher Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hello Dan and welcome to SGL it seems to me that with your fully equipped workshop if you do decide to make scope mounts they will be robust enough to last a lifetime. Hope you have many clear skies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
