30+inch+F3+Telescope+tube+and+mount+design

The telescope tube will look similar to that of the test rig shown below. This image was taken on the 30th June 2015. I hope to complete the design and construction of the tube and mount by the end of August 2015.



The telescope will be driven using the Sidereal Technology controller system. I already have one of these systems installed to drive the 20 inch in the Dome and it works very well.

I have purchased two of the motor/gearbox systems from Sidereal Technology also. This drive system construction will look similar to the Cruxis telescope.
