Seems all the dob makers are concentrating on the OTA in the quest to make scopes more portable. As a 10" f5 OTA will fit across the back seat of most any mid sized car I want to see something done about the bulky dob bases!
The base of my 10" gso dob has to ride on the front seat as it wont fit in the trunk.
I am sending 'positive waves' over to Tom at Disc Mount to create a new type of dob mount. This mount will consist of a fixed base, a column and a Disc Mount head that will handle a reflector OTA up to 10". This setup will dismantle into three pieces for easy transport.
In my dream world this Disc Mount head will also track.
Mmmmmmm ... I'm going to my happy place now ...
I'm back.
I envision such a mount costing a few $$$$ but I would buy something like that in a minute.
