SAO 10” NEWTONIAN FORK MOUNT CONSTRUCTION STEPS, CONT.   Part 3 of 3

 

 

                                                           
The SAO 10" Reflector Fork Mount construction continues with the addition of the declination axis add-on braces. Just clicking on the photo in the upper left hand corner of this page. The Right Ascension Axis Box is now complete, and now the mount begins to take shape as we progress toward completion. The incorporation of heavy duty cast iron galvanized flanges, and light weight (but strong) 2" inch T-6061 Aluminum Right Ascension Axis's hollow tubing, provides adequate support and reduced flexure properties.
