  German Equatorial Mount.

  I am aware of the need for both machine work as well as foundry work.
  Neither scares me. What I can't do, I can contract out.

  Does anyone have plans for same?

  Plans for a good set up of a rotating truss scope on an equatorial mount (although on an Orion Atlas) can be found

  His conical mirrors also make for an easy light weight construction. I am not endorsing his work nor have ever used his, but he has a good name in the industry.
