Unistar "Lighter"!
Dear all,
I had been searching for a light weight mount for my C8 for long!!!! Here I got it finally, it's a customized version of Unistar Light from Universal Astronomics! It weights less than 2lb but yet, it can handle my C8 very well. I just tested, at 286x, vibration damps out within 2 seconds! And it pans very smoothly! It will be my deep sky hunting tool!!!! Super light weight!!! Where can you find a 8" at under 20lb?! woo~~ I can go deep sky hunting even after a whole day work! I can bring it to office and I can bring it to hiking!!! No problem! Thanks Larry, and thanks to all who didn't frustrate me to say it's impossible! Oldfield |

What's customized about it? I've been looking into this for my C8 and am glad to see it works well for you. Could you describe everything in more detail? What kind of tripod are you using, etc? Thanks! -Mark Ensley |

What's customized about it? The most important change is the shorter arm. I've been looking into this for my C8 and am glad to see it works well for you. Could you describe everything in more detail? I highly recommend it as a second mount for a C8, it's a low to medium power portable visual mount for the C8, but you got to have another stronger arm to fully use the power of the C8. What kind of tripod are you using, etc? Gitzo G1415. Oldfield |
