Skytee 2 With ADM Dovetail Saddle Mod

[pmesquita]

I'll have to write up a guide to the GOTO mod when I get the time. It took some time and experimentation to come up with a drive mounting system. No mods were done to the Skytee 2 mount at all, it's purely a bolt on system. As mentioned in other posts it's only GOTO in EQ mode as the Synscan motors don't have the encoders that would be needed for an Alt-Az GOTO. However being able to use the handcontrol to move the mount in Alt-Az is so useful even if it can't track in Alt-Az.

A cheaper option is to fit the EQ5 dual drive motors for just a driven EQ mount.

The hardest part would be to build the EQ wedge, although if you make it a fixed non-adjustable wedge it's a lot easier and it could be made from plywood.
