2. Frankenscope
I needed a portable telescope to take to places such as Kelling Heath.
My main telescope is stuck in its observatory
It needs to allow me to do imaging as well as visual
The solution is to be build Frankenscope!

3. Frankenscope What do you need to build Frankenscope? LX200 tripod
A Julian Tworek home-made wedge
A 10” LX200 fork mount without the OTA
An ETX 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope
A finderscope
An SBIG CCD camera
Some steel stud, aluminium square tube
And nuts!
