The faceplates for the NS
II are comprised of two different sized aluminum plates cut from a
collection of scrap aluminum I acquired some years ago. The small
plates will be used on the opposite side of the hinge that connects
to the accessory tray during setup of the tripod for observing. A
total of three (3) of these plates (the upper most faceplate on each
the legs - one per leg - see diagram
HERE) will be used. The large
plates will be fabricated to effective hold the leg together, and as
the main support when the "adjustable center legs" are extended and
retracted. A total of twelve (12) of these plates will be needed to
make the faceplates. They will be installed below the accessory tray
faceplate on the outside and inside of each leg. Two (2) outside,
and two (2) inside each leg. Please refer to the diagram for more
details. |
