Picture Link
This is a picture of my telescope, finder, cradle, and mount.  The small motor on the mount cradle, at the center left of the picture is the tube rotation drive motor.

The equatorial and polar axis tubes of the mount, are made from 1/4 inch thick wall, 4 inch diameter gas transmission pipe.  The main bearings inside are from a Ford 8000 differential.  The main shafts are 2 inch Diameter solid mild steel. 

For an enlargement  of the picture and itemized detailed description please go to the mount details map.
