Big Mount and Small Scope

Here is a picture of my HD200C mount and Celestron C8 SCT. The mount barely notices that it has a scope attached! I have a JMI NGF-S focuser as well as a small motorized control for the main mirror focus. This makes it easy to image from the kitchen table in comfort.

The HD200C is really the mount for my big scope the "Behemoth" as my family has named it. It is a 17.5" newtonian that I built from the optical parts of a Celestron Dobsonian and new high quality Mirror Cell, Focuser, Aluminium Tube, and Spider. I learned a lot about my scope by rebuilding it. you can see a picture of it on my web site (Big Telescope)

It looks like the clouds are clearing off tonight so off to take more pictures!
