Finished the fork mount for my 505mm, F/3.5 astrograph at my backyard observatory.
Friction drive for right ascension, harmonic drive for declination. The total weight of the structure will be around 280 kg. It will be used with a steel wedge adjusted for the local latitude on a concrete foundation.
The tube is still in progress.
Painting and installation will be done in the spring.
