Brian - One further clarification. The "Movement" or flexure I'm talking about is only during Visual Inspection of the mount. When I'm manually moving the mount around, or just pushing and pulling the OTA around manually. I'm often only using the RA tracking motor, and loosening the Dec and RA lock knobs to slew manually to my target. Then letting the mount track in RA. I just want to make sure I'm tightening up all the bolts in all the right places. For Polar alignment, after Altitude adjustment, the instructions are not clear on if the Bolts should be tightened down (for visual or for astrophotography).?

Thanks,
Andrew?
