The Fullerscopes MK IV with the AWR motors and the FS2 controller. Goto and autoguiding works very good..
Fantastic optics made by Paul Jones.
Testing the new Fullerscopes MK IV mount
Before installing the new Fullerscopes mount permantly in the observatory I first wanted to test the polar alignment and the backlash of the mount. Therefore I made a set of test photos of M42 and the Moon using the long focal 102mm Polarex refractor.
