At first, sorry my poor english. But perhaps someone here can guide me. Recently a friend give me a small 3" newt OTA a F/9. It's practically new, w/ 3 EP of 28, 10 & 4 mm. I live in a small city at Venezuela, and here it's hard to buy any kind of mount, except in Caracas and others few big citys, and of course, there are expensives. Has anyone plans or pics of any simply mount, dob, eq, alt-az, that I may do by myself with simply materials, like wood, tubes, etc.? Thanks E.
