gjppolaris

Vixen manufactured Super Polaris mounted Newtonian. The tube assembly is an F4.4 Astrosystems 10" with optics by Hinds. The motor control is a custom built unit, but it seems to work okay. The whole lot is quite easily moved though you wouldnt want one of the counterweights dropping on your foot. Guiding accuracy for imaging is about 40 seconds or so.

KLater the Super Polaris was loaned to Shrewsbury School and replaced with an EQ6.
