equatorial mount has two axes of rotation. The polar (or right ascension) axis is parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation. The declination axis is orthogonal (at right angles) to the polar axis.

The German (so-called because it was designed by the Bavarian astronomer, Josef von Fraunhofer) equatorial mount carries the telescope tube at one end of the declination axis. Its weight is balanced by counterweights on a shaft on the other end of the declination axis. It is a very versatile mount, but the telescope has to be "flipped" if it crosses the meridian.

equatorial telescope mount requires you to move the telescope to the object you wish to find, just as with an alt-az mount. To keep an object centered in the eyepiece, however, requires only a simple nudge of the telescope because the equatorial mount moves the telescope in the same gentle curve that stars follow across the sky. You can spot an equatorial telescope mount easily because it looks like a couple of pipes laid crosswise against each other. See similar questions...

equatorial telescope mount moves a telescope across the sky in the same curved path that stars and planets move. To follow a star or planet, then, requires only a simple nudge of the telescope rather than two adjustments as needed in an alt-az mount. This makes following objects in the sky much easier and makes higher magnifications more practical. Many beginner telescopes are now available with an equatorial telescope mount.

Yes. We offer a special motor platform (item #2207) for our Catamaran/Outrigger Systems. It can be used with motors up to 2HP. See similar questions...

First drop the motor into an approximate position, wrap a chain around the two sprockets so you can see if the chain will foul on anything. This will give you an indication as to go up or down or forward & back with the motor for ideal position. Take the chain off & use a straight edge across the motor & rear axle sprocket to line up the sprockets. You need to square the motor to the frame, you may be able to work off the machined face under the motors sprocket cover. See similar questions...

o if you are a fly fisher, buy the quick release mount. You can then take motor off and have a clean snag free surface. If you fly fish and use the TM at same time, then get a basket for catching the fly line. o I opted for a starboard mount as my Push Pole was already on the starboard side and I didn't want to clutter up both sides of the bow. As a right-hander, and a newbie fly fisherman, I wanted to keep the port side uncluttered, especially when I use a stripping basket. See similar questions...

should work. If it does not, you must edit your /etc/fstab file and add a line that refers to your CD-ROM device. In more recent versions of Red Hat Linux, your CD-ROM is more likely to be something like /dev/cdrom. To find out what the CD-ROM device is for your system, type See similar questions...

Yes. MS Networking, NetWare IP, and AppleShare IP all work over a VPN connection. Drive mounting or file sharing which relies on non-IP protocols such as AppleTalk or IPX will not work. However, TSS does not support mounting of servers outside of NUNET. If you wish to mount a department's server, please contact your UNITS representative for instructions. See similar questions...

The motorhomes are equipped just as a normal truck or car, and you will find that they have a similar feel. The difficulties arise from the size of the vehicle compared to a normal vehicle. The height of the motorhome is up to 12 feet, which is considerably taller than most vehicles. In addition, the width of the motorhome is 8-1/2 feet, which is much wider than even a truck. The biggest challenge is the "tail swing" . See similar questions...

We take the time to go over RV driving safety. Like anything new, you must orientate yourself to your RV. Stay focused. You are not driving a car or truck. It is different. If you elect we will take you on a test drive. In any RV you are driving a big box. All are long, wide and top heavy. In a Class A you are more conscious of the RV mass around you because your driver’s seat is at floor level and the road is more visible. See similar questions...

Driving a motor home is not really hard - it's just different. There are a few things you need to be aware of, though. That's why you are welcome to test drive any RV as many times as you wish. We want to feel comfortable with the RV you choose. See similar questions...

This is usually caused by the mounts "drooping" in storage -- especially in hot weather. The plastic is very tough and will not break, but it does tend to bend if stored improperly. The best way to store a 4D when not in use is just point it nose down on the floor so the tail points up. This keeps the weight of the plane pushing UP on the mounts, and also allows after run oil (you DO use after run oil, right?) to run into the front bearing. See similar questions...

We more than likely do. We have pump mount and drive kits for virtually all engine makes such as big and small block Chevrolet, Chrysler, Ford, Pontiac and so on. The pump mount kit includes all of the appropriate pieces to mount your new mechanical pump to your block, the crank mandrel and bolt, both pump and crank pulleys and the appropriate length belt. All of these pieces are anodized for a great look. See similar questions...

Yes. FMI's can be easily driven by belt, chain, or shaft coupling, or connected directly to special motor drives. FMI can also provide adaptors to connect QP and RH motorless pumps to Masterflex® LS drives. Have a 56C face motor? FMI's P56C Adapter Kit will provide an easy connection of FMI's QP motorless pump to your NEMA 56C face foot mount motor. See similar questions...

Connecting the motor to the drive wheel is one of the most challenging problems of constructing a PA. The motor drive has to co-exist with the pedal drive, and with two drive systems on a small vehicle, it gets crowded quickly. There are almost as many solutions as there are builders. Basically the most popular solutions use either friction drive on the bicycle tire, a timing belt, a chain, a vee belt, a j-belt, or a combination of these in a multi-reduction setup.

To drive a motor vehicle on a footpath or bridleway without "lawful" authority is a criminal offence.  Lawful authority can be interpreted as having the consent of the owner of the land. See similar questions...

Simply cutting off some of the stern to get a motor mount on a transom does not leave enough flotation to bear the weight of the canoeist and the motor. However, it is an easy matter to make a removable thwart that sticks out from the hull with a small vertical plate for a motor mount. I have a supplemental drawing that shows such a motor mount. An electric trolling motor is an excellent way to drive a canoe. You can go for hours on a charged battery. See similar questions...

Generally a 25-30 lb thrust electric motor is used and works well with a deep cycle marine battery. The motor mount bolts to two L-shaped brackets which are riveted to the inside of the tank well. The motor mount extends off the starboard side of the kayak behind the seat. The Wave Witch family of designs, includuing the popular Cobra Wave Witch, feature a relatively long and sharp bow.
