Hercules Single

This mount was
"made for" short tube refractor
telescopes (My Nighthawk)...
but I use my 6" f5 Newtonian on it
as well... and lighter cassegrains. The
Hercules Single Arm shown in gold anodize.
This color was used to show better detail
on the components. There are no plans on
special color anodizing (but it is kinda
cool !!) Also ... the pan handle is a prototype. They
should be available shortly
A close up view of
a standard "liquid gray"
anodize Hercules Single Arm with black
knobs. Note the dovetail that allows easy
balancing, and quick release. Also note
they are ready for encoders ... nothing
else to buy!!
A front view ...
note the set screw on the front so the
dovetail doesn't slide through completely
preventing the scope from accidentally
crashing to ground
