I saw an article titled
"Your Own tripod, Cheap! " by Doug Nelle on the internet
at the University
Lowbrow Astronomers website.
Cheap it is. Total cost less than $10 using some hardware and stuff I
already had.
Crutches were $.98 for each pair (with one spare leg left over) at a
local thrift store.
Aluminium legs are sturdy and adjustable.
I was impressed enough to
make one for use with my Meade ETX-60
The following are a
series of photos showing construction.
3-1/2 inch wide fiberglass channels
for attaching legs
to base.
