This robust mount was designed for GTN (Global Telescope Network) to support two or more Telescopes with apertures up to 20” for use at remote sites around the globe, operated by internet connections.  I also designed and built GTN’s prototype test facility including telescope enclosure and foundations, and control system shelter on Eldorado Mountain near Golden, Colorado.  

Responsibilities: mechanical design, production oversight, and final assembly.
