Al-Paslow > The polar shaft reads a 1.5 inch diameter. (The image shows a somewhat less but that is only due to camera position.)
Al-Paslow > Image of the polar housing and colum in the basement of my home. These images were taken prior to cleaning up of the dusty mount !
Al-Paslow > This shot shows the Polar axis of the telescope mount with gears and a motor which can be set to follow the stars while they move accross the sky. The telescope makes one complete turn every 24 hours! The Right Ascension Setting Circle ( black wheel shown with numbers.) can be used to find a "stars address" in the sky. Stars have locations of latitude and longitude in the sky. The Stars Right Ascension ( latitude) can be "dialed in" by moving the telescope and watching the numbers on the circle shown above. The telescopes other setting circle on the other axis ( not shown on this image) finds the stars "longitude".
