Caravanning scope


Recommended Posts

I am looking to add to my modest scope collection. I currently have a Astromaster 130eq and a Travelscope 70 on an alt-az3 mount.

Would it be worth me adding a Skymax 90 for mainly planetary viewing to take with me caravanning and would the alt-az3 be a suitable platform for it?.

Many thanks

The Az3 will easy take the skymax 90 I think.

You mgiht need to consider how you mount it though.

For example on my Az3 I use the camera mount head as that is compatible with my camera, my ST80 and my C70 (slightly smaller Mak then the 90). I personally have not used a tube ring setup on my Az3.

This is the adatptor I needed for my Az3 as my things use a camera thread to mount on stuff.

I also made a counter weight so that my ST80 could view at zentith without sagging here.
