[Moon-net] [Moon] Dish linear actuator

[SM6CKU]

Phil
You will need a pretty big one and the length is depending how high the moon 
is and how heavy the dish is. To reach zenith I think you need the longest 
available. Have a look at www.sepatriot.com under RF & Components and 
Actuators. I suggest a 36" Thomson-Saginaw for USD 400, it is heavy duty. 
There are more sources I understand. Hope to work you on 23 cm later on.
