The sky here near St. Petersburg is gone until at least August.
We can leisurely prepare the setup(s) for the summer vacation.
At first, I thought about getting two separate setups, but then decided that my Bolivar, also known as the AM-5, can handle both just fine.
The only place to mount the second telescope (Sharpstar 50EDPH + 0.84 Reducer) on the Askar 103APO was the top handle, but that created a very long lever arm, with the second tube and accessories weighing 2kg. I printed two new rings and a handle, mounting the tube from the bottom side. I like this much better, and most importantly, the load on the RA axis drive is reduced.
