Description

JTW P35 Minotaur Friction Drive Telescope Mount 

The Minotaur Friction Drive Telescope Mount is a synergy of JTW’s engineering & ENS Optical’s design input. This has helped us to combine professional engineering with a practical understanding of what astronomers need in the way of features and ergonomics all in one package.

The Minotaur is a new breed of mount that that ticks all the boxes from the get-go, building on the success of the Trident P75.
