I guess it is time to confess!! About two or two weeks ago I made some changes to my telescope . . . and have been waiting for decent weather to test them . . . so far no testing due to weather cloudy patterns! The changes? Cemented some Ebony Star to bottom of rocker box to eliminate some stiction in azimuth movement. Also cemented a piece of wood to equatorial platform to help polar align, with a compass, during initial setup. Sooo, in part, the Moistons have taken their revenge out due to some scope mods. aj -- This message is from the AZ-Observing mailing list.
