296 mm UK Orion Optics newton
with 3 foci: 1160, 1590 and 1830 mm
207 mm F=1156 mm newton
80 and 110 mm WO APO's
due to balancing problems i placed the 296 mm newton in the center and the 207 mm on top of the bigger newton; the APO's flank the newtons

ok Mark, except the two counterweights on the declination axle, there is a square tube holding an 8 cm APO, balanced by a small weight at the other end of the tube

hi Mark, there is no all-sky camera, what gave you that impression?

Hi Mark; it will carry another small newton and a Schmidt-Newton soon.
The mount is manufactured by Astrotechniek at Velden, Holland for € 9000.
See http://www.astrotechniek.net/pages/over-astrotechniek.php
This was the last one of the ten they made.
The periodic error is 2.5" and it has a goto function, but no parking position.
The beauty of this mount is that it can carry loads of gear and that you can turn the polar axis all around.
