The handle is a great idea. Is it made by ADM? ADM web site is down so I can't find it.

Peter




I think I figured out. Looks you your bought two ADM adapters and a handle bar. Where is the best place to get a handle bar?

Thanks,
Peter




The handle looks like a drawer pull to me. Any home improvement store like a Home Depot or Lowes will have something very similar right in stock.

The handle is actually an electronics rack mount handle and comes from Mouser, Inc. Part number 534-7151, nickel plated brass, cost $4.90. The adapters are from ADM. I had one left over from Anthony's counterweight package for the CPC and another from a finder scope.

Voila! Instant SCT handle. This thing really helps me lift the OTA up onto the mount easier and can easily be removed if I want to load up a piggy back scope. The C925 wasn't too bad; the C11 gets heavy.

Thanks,

Ron
