- This is my new design for equatorial platforms. They have a lot of useful function, which you can see in the video.
I developed 3 types from 40 to 55° northern latitude.
From now it can be ordered. For more info check this:

I know the Hungarian elves are busily building great eq platforms for all the good little dobsonian mount telescopes out there. I'm hoping Uncle Nicholas will come early this year...🎅
I am looking forward to ordering one of these when available in 2023. I am at 37.5 degrees north latitude in the US so I am hoping you will offer the 3540 model as it would be perfect.
Just checking if there might be any updates on shipping of these platforms...
Fantastic!
Do you have one that supports 20 - 30 degree latitude? And can ship to US?
I have platforms only from 30 degrees. It can be used at lower latitudes, but need to be tilted more.
I can ship to US.

Looks good, what are the specifications on each model? Do you have one that can handle a 22" dob? at least 150 pounds. What are the prices? Do you have a website?
In the past a have made a big platform (called megalodon), but the demand was very low.
Currently a have no website, only a facebook page:

Nice work, how do you reset it?
It works automatically. Check the link in the description.
I'm really interested in purchasing one of these for an 8" dob. I tried clicking the link you provided below and it seems to not function. What are your prices?
Please try this link:

For me worked the original link too.
Hi, are you still making these?
Hi, from spring it will be available again:

Do focus only between 40 to 55 latitude?
Currently yes, but in future i want to develop for other latitudes too.
Can you take long exposure images with this?
It is designed for visual observing. I don’t do photography.
I know someone using this eq platform. He can reach 5s exposure with a 250/1200. That's pretty good for EEA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy) or lucky imaging !
@@wildemas 5 second exposure? That seems short.
@@Finlaymacnab it's difficult to have more with an eq platform. 5s is still enough for deap sky with a small sensor.
