This is the second video in a series about the Goto Kogaku Mark X system which originated in about 1976. This one shows the fine 5 inch reflector (the MX-61 on Goto’s System Diagram) on the superb Mark-X modular mount. I disassemble the mount and show some rare accessories including motor drives for both axes and the wonderful Comet Tracker Control Box!

Many thanks to Don Chatfield for loaning me this scope for the video! If you are interested in the history of Goto Kogaku you will want read Don’s fine research paper dealing with the Mark X revolution: https://www.cloudynights.com/articles...
