Subject: single-arm fork mount


Recently I saw a big single-arm fork mount somewhere on the internet.
Unfortunately, I did not take a bookmark and I also forgot the name of
it. The only thing I remember is that it was single-arm, and big as for
observatories and it came somewhere from eastern europe. I dont intend
to buy it, but I am just curious on seeing it again. However I cant find
it anymore. Has anyone also seen this mount and can help me with a www
address?

Herbert

If it's single-arm, is it still a fork?

Hi Herbert,
this persons site probably has the mount you are thinking of
http://stargazer.christelhager.info/equipment.htm. Gemini is the name
of the mount.

Good luck with your search.
