Re: [ATM] parallelogram binoc mount

[Dan Harriman <stargazer@asset-astronomer.org>]

I have built a parallelogram bino mount based on Jan Van Gastel's design.
It is great! I used a 4" dia. length of PVC pipe for the stand.

Here is the URL to his web site showing the mount.

Easy and quick to build. It has come in handy at our local starparties.

If at first you don't succeed, maybe you shouldn't try sky diving!
