Sugar-2 Mount |
1997 | |
|
In 1997 I started to
disign a new mount and telescope. It will be the second 'Sugar mount' and the 'Sugar-2 telescope'. The telescope is made for visual and photograph. I redesigned the telescope in 2007 so it is now the 'Sugar-3 telescope'. Now it only for photograph. |

On this moment i'm
retired. I use to work at the Sugar Factory 'Suiker Unie Groningen'. I was alloud to use the mechanica workshops of sugar factory. |

The fork is placed on the
cutter machine. I'm made the bearing box for the declination axis. |
