Description

I use a Losmandy AZ8 Alt/Az mount for visual observing and when not using the slow motion controls on the mount I found I didn't like to push on the telescope itself when star hopping. 

Stellarvue for some time made a handle (MH002) for their own Alt/Az mount but it attached in a proprietary way and would not work with the AZ8 without getting some holes machined and tapped into it.

Since the AZ8 is a dual scope mount and I'm only using one scope, I decided to make an adapter that would allow me to attach the handle to my adapter which would then be inserted into the extra telescope mount of the AZ8.  This would allow me to use the handle to move the scope around, instead of pushing directly on the scope to star hop, without having to modify the AZ8 mount.
