The other place I see some "movement" or maybe just "flexure" is right at the Altitude Lock Bolt area. I still need to go through Polar Alignment again, so I may need to use the Altitude Adjustment Knob to get the elevation correct. After I have that "nailed", should I tighten down the Altitude Lock Bolts?
The Azimuth Locking Knob is another spot I would double-check to make sure it is tight after adjusting Azimuth in Polar alignment.
Hi Andrew - okay great we'll cover this
Yes, at the end you do want to have the bolts tightened, but you iterate: keep them somewhat snug at the start, then adjust your polar alignment, then tighten a bit more, adjust, etc.
