After waiting and waiting we got our new Paramount ME for a C-14 (1980's model).
To get the best pointing I want to get rid of the mirror flop (it's adding a 30 arc second error to our Tpoint model).
I just have some cap screws pluging up the holes and can't find the original locking screws. The back of the tube will have a filter wheel, TCF-s focuser and ST9.
After I set the focus with the CCD, is locking the mirror as simple as getting a screw long enough to thread into the mirror cell? Any special method to this?
