	The Imaging Telescope
				The SharpStar 61 is part of a series of new is Telescopes to enter the market place.  I collapses to a size so small, that the Telescope and Mount fit into one Pelican IM-2100 case.   This Telescope can be used for observing.  A 24mm Televue Panoptic Eyepiece provides 14x with a 4.9 degree field of view.   But this Telescope will probably never be used for any other purpose than imaging Lunar, Solar or Transit events. The Takahashi Teegul Mount This Mount has been modified to reduce it's foot print in a carrying case (see image below), creaating a modular Mount/Telescope design.  The counterweight shaft/housing and has been removed to reduce weight.  The red line (pictured below), shows the weight distribution to acheive "near" blance around the R.A. axis.  The black battery pack attached to the R.A. Drive Housing aids the weight distribution. This is my only Tracking Mount.  This is a clever mount with numerous configuration options.  It is accurate and has carried larger payloads then intended, without issues.  It has supported the 85mm Televue Refractor.  It has been used for imaging since the Venus Transit in 2004.
