我们开发了一种轻便的便携式望远镜支架。它能够携带直径达2.5米的主镜，但只有7米高，重5吨，约为传统望远镜重量的五分之一。我们测量的指向和跟踪精度分别优于3″和0″.5，持续10分钟。我们已经证明，该望远镜是容易运输，同时保持足够的精度天文观测。
We have developed a transportable, lightweight telescope mount. It is capable of carrying a primary mirror of up to 2.5 m in diameter, but is only 7 m high and weighs 5 tons, approximately one-fifth the weight of a conventional telescope. We measured the pointing and the tracking accuracies to be better than 3″ and 0″.5 for 10 minutes, for pointing and tracking, respectively. We have demonstrated that the telescope is readily transportable while retaining sufficient accuracy for astronomical observations.
