Metric?īriefly ruminated on attaching it to the Motomaster work table, like what I did for Wayne's Sky-Watcher equatorial mount, as I reviewed the EQMOD software. Or layer two sheets.Ĭouldn't find a large bolt compatible with the SP mount. I've lots of plywood lying around.īut I'd have to counter-sink it. Perhaps a large piece of wood, a square or rectangle, could work, with a hole in the centre, and a bolt into the mount. For the course, I'd want to operate it, mostly hands free, and put a camera on it, to show it moving and working. For quick tests in the past, I just held the mount to make sure it didn't tip over. I considered making a simple platform for supporting the Vixen Super Polaris mount. I vaguely recalled getting Stellarium to drive Phil's Losmandy mount, after building a custom cable. But I hadn't done it with Stellarium, ever, I think. In theory, this is possible: it works fine with SkyTools (via ASCOM, using a Vixen driver). With no estate items around or mounts in the repair workshop, the only immediate option was to drive my old mount. With the intermediate level 2 Stellarium training course for RASC members coming up soon, I wanted to make sure I had a working solution for showing the Stellarium software actually slewing a telescope mount in real time.
