Equatorial platform for an Orion XT10 Telescope

thingiverse

These are the 3D printed parts I used when building an Equatorial platform for my Orion XT-10 telescope. An equatorial platform keeps the telescope pointed at the same object in the sky, counteracting the rotation of the earth. This is a Dobsonian telescope, which does not typically have an equatorial mount due to its design. But this platform works well and keeps the scope pointed consistently for about an hour. The entire project can be seen here: https://howardpinder.com/home/telescope-mount-design/
