While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Mapug Members,
After a year of procrastinating I finally finished my LX200, ATM, and Gadget
web page. I appreciate it if you'd check it out. Here are the items, I've
built, that are detailed on the page...
Battery Pack
Dew Shield Counter Weight
Dew Zapper
Focuser Bearing Mod
Heated Eyepiece Tray
How to Make a Serial Cable
Military Case Conversion
SCT Cooler
Solar Filter

Under the ATM section you'll find my first home built scope, a 8" f6 Truss
tube dob, and plans for a $15.00 Laser Collimator I designed and built
(useful to truss tube dob owners).

You can also find my Astronomy Info Excel spreadsheet here version 1.3,
AutoCAD solid models of my LX200, Truss Tube Scope and the Laser Collimator,
in the "Download" section. Also in the download section are PDF files of
how to do the Focuser Bearing Modification on an LX200, the Military Case
Modifications I did to John Hopper's computer cases and instructions for
making a LX200 to PC serial cable.

I expect this page to be around for a long time, so bookmark it if you wish.
Here's the URL http://members.cts.com/nebula/s/scottb80/


Enjoy and Clear Skies!
