Thanks for the photo, Don. That clear plastic piece is missing on my mount. Hmmm, wonder where to find one?

Hi Taylor! Congratulations on an excellent choice. If you are really desperate to spend more money... I would recommend the replacement of the Allen-keyed screws by knobs, and the clutch knobs. These

Hi all! Thanks for your so helpful support on this! Finally, I do believe I have some good news. However, I wish to keep testing and see if it stays good. I got a new EPROM from David, installed it

hi gang, Belleville washers save the day here...making this a nicely adjustable AZ system. I observe that on a long FL scope doing Drift alignment, loosening the AZ bolts, even slightly, makes the
