I really appreciate your ongoing contributions to the Hadley community, this seems like a really interesting option, and I love getting to see the iteration of the design.

[@designbydave]

I'm just stoked there is such a large community around building a cool little telescope! Glad to be able to contribute what ever I can.

Dude this mount is awesome. I am going to attempt a modification to make it work with a 3D printed 76mm newtonian I am working on.

[@designbydave]

Cool! What needs to be modified? It uses a standard vixen style dovetail mount. Can you newtonian accomodate that?

[@iamjessieray]

I love it! Glad to have provided some inspiration with my random posts on the internet. I think I may try it out for use with my Orion ST80 for when I don't feel like pulling the 8" dob out!

[@designbydave]

Cool, let me know how that works out!

nice work!!!

[@designbydave]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@netmaxim]

Nice! The tries are very interesting !

[@designbydave]

Thanks! I wasn't sure if that would be interesting or not so glad you like it.

What do you think the weight limit would be on this? Do you think it would work for a larger telescope like the "Leavitt"? For context, the Leavitt uses an 8" mirror.

[@designbydave]

I think it's limited to only light payloads, maybe 2-4 pounds. Definitely not adequate for an 8 in mirror.
