[edit] Re:The Trackball Telescope: A different approach
I have reverted your addition to Amateur telescope making of the The Trackball Telescope. The page is about the field of amateur telescope making in general, not specific designs. It may fit in the Dobsonian article but it seems to be such a variant that it should probably be its own article. The one caveat to doing either of that is this design has to be notable to be in Wikipedia at all. It is debatable whether this is a unique mount design since a "Ball Mount Telescope" has around a long time and was even marketed by Edmund Scientific Corporation in 1979 under the name "Astroscan 2001" [1]. The motorized element may be an innovation but an article about it may want to describe that (i.e. "a Trackball Mount" not a "Trackball Telescope" Halfblue 15:32, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
