I deforked my Meade 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. But why?

Описание к видео I deforked my Meade 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. But why?

Fork-mounted Schmidt Cassegrain telescopes were very popular in the 70's, 80's and 90's because they did not require counterweights. But they can be challenging to use visually and photographically due to the limited space when the tube has to rotate between the fork. What to do? Defork it!

I did just that, and it turned out to be not quite as easy as I expected. See how I did it (despite a bit of missing video due to me not having enough memory on my camera - oops!) and what I plan to do with the newly deforked SCT.

See what's up in the night sky with "Eyes on the Sky" videos, astronomy made easy.
