skywatcher heritage 130 Dobsonian mount dimensions

[beamer3.6m]

Hi

I am considering building my own dob mount and as I have a spare 130pm explorer available I thought I would base it on the heritage 130 mount.

Could anyone out there with such a scope confirm the dimensions to me please to include the diameter of the base and the height/ width of the support which holds the telescope to the base.

I intend to use 3/4 inch ply so it should be light.

Cheers guys.

I'll get my tape measure out later, but you might want to make it a bit bigger to avoid having to sit on the floor to use it....!

The base diameter is 320mm and telescope support height is 355mm, width at base 248mm. the thickness of board (probably mdf) is 15mm. Any further questions please feel free to pm me.

I will give it a go and post a pic.

Looking forward to seeing it. It should be something like a Starblast.
