The following table illustrates the M-zero mount possible configurations (operating mode and
telescope type):
Telescope
type
Picture
Note
Any type of
optical tube
This setup allows the
use of any telescope
type (within the
allowable weight
limits). Medium length
refractors are possible
because the arm
position permits the
telescope rotation
without obstacles.
The counterweight
being used is 0.5 kg.
Optical tubes up to 8” RCs and
SCs and Newtonians up to 6”.
In this setup the L shape
brackets have been
mounted in reversed
position to allow the
repositioning of
the arm
to a more extended
position.As seen in the
illustration,
it is possible
to balance an 8” SC
with a counterweight of
only 0,5 kg.
