The Tripod Mount With The Tube (#2)

The Mount With The Tube (#2)

Now, the mount is much easier and faster to assemble.   All that needs be done is to insert the legs into the "extensions" that are
welded onto the bottom of the base plate and attach 2 bolts, 4 washers, and 2 nuts onto each leg.   The only difficult part is
lifting up the mount -- It weighs around 75 pounds, without the counterweights!   By the way, this photograph was taken where
I do my deep-sky observing -- In the high desert at approximately 3.600 feet (2,250 meters).
