Well, I finally completed the Dobsonian mount for Trixie. The idea is that I wanted to have a backup scope for use while the NJP is in use doing photography.
I learned a lot from doing the build, and there are still a few things that need finishing up, but I’m pleased with how the mount turned out.
Here’s a look from the front of the scope:
Now for some clear sky!
