Description

Here is a shot of the test run for the dry-fit Scope Lifter (no glue in joints yet) lifting and transporting an Ioptron Tri-Peir and CEM60 mount. Once the mount if glued and finalized, testing on the entire scope setup will be done. Testing was done with this config, and then I added 61lbs of extra counter weights simulating the design weight of the system - and everything worked great!
