Abstract
A telescope mount with a fixed vertical axis of rotation, a fixed horizontal axis of rotation, and a variable axis of rotation. The mount allows a side aperture telescope to simultaneously rotate horizontally and vertically while also allowing the telescope to be tilted up and down.
Claims2
A telescope mount comprising:
- (a) a fixed vertical axis of rotation,
- (b) a fixed horizontal axis of rotation,
- (c) a variable axis of rotation, and
- (d) a means for attaching a telescope to the mount,
- (e) where said means for attaching a telescope provides a way to mount the telescope to the variable axis of rotation,
- (f) where said variable axis of rotation is mounted to said horizontal axis of rotation,
- (g) where said horizontal axis of rotation is mounted to said vertical axis of rotation,
- (g) where said vertical axis of rotation provides a means to rotate the entire telescope mount about the vertical axis.

A telescope mount comprising:
- (a) a fixed vertical axis of rotation,
- (b) a fixed horizontal axis of rotation,
- (c) a variable axis of rotation, and
- (d) a means for attaching a telescope to the mount,
- (e) with said vertical axis of rotation providing rotation about the vertical axis for both the said horizontal axis of rotation and said variable axis of rotation,
- (f) where said horizontal axis of rotation provides horizontal axis rotation for said variable axis of rotation,
- (g) where said variable axis of rotation provides a variable axis of rotation for a mounted telescope about its length.
- (h) where said means for attaching a telescope provides a means for mounting the telescope to the variable axis of rotation.
