My Unitron 152
Back
My Unitron 152 has been transformed into a Photo-equatorial with the addition of the Unitron 60 x 700 guide scope.
I was also lucky enough to locate a Unibalance assembly. This 152 project is sort of like building a kit! :-)

I fabricated a locking shaft with a triangular knob to replace the wing bolt that locks the RA slow motion collar.

Fun with the Sun! Unfortunately, high thin clouds lowered the contrast, but some spots were visible.
A dream from my younger days: from the cover of the Unitron catalog to my backyard.
I couldn't resist this shot: "Picture yourself at the controls of this 4-inch Unitron", just like the ads in Sky & Telescope !
