They will be fine packed away.? Try to minimise moisture...kinda impossible if your in Monsoon area.? Throw in some desiccant into the packing. -- Brendan

From the git-go I knew I'd be dismantling my mount a lot. So I got the *TKS hand screws ( http://store.losmandy.com/tks ).* -- SonnyE Sonny's Youtube Channel (

The breed is a Dog. Certainly not a cat. My guess would be a large Terrior Breed. Airdale perhaps? I love dogs! Dogs are never mad at you, they are always overjoyed when you return, and loyal to their

Yea Chip what I do is I adjust the worm outside then do a full 180 on RA and DEC and if it binds up somewhere I'll readjust it right there.? Pretty simple. Also my worms were bone dry, I sprayed

I definitely plan to watch it, Brian. There is a lot left to learn!

Arun that's great to hear has become very reliable that's really the goal, right? that guiding is no longer the constraining factor I think you may still find some things i'll be covering to be of

Thanks to all the great discussion in this group, I am happy to state that I am well under that. Not so long ago, 0.8” RMS was a great night. Now, I continually achieve 0.65” RMS. The last few

Hi Henk, Without thermal contraction you could just set the backlash anyplace on the worm gear and for get it. But IRL we shoot in the dark and it is colder at night than daytime. Have you run the

Hi everyone, we are doing another online presentation, this time with tips and approaches to achieve <1" performance. It is part of Woodland Hills Camera & Telescope presentations July

Hi Michael, Very Inspiring Images!? Thanks for sharing. I'm curious about the ZWO ADC, camera and exposure settings you used (If you don't mind sharing)... If you are using sharpcap, are you doing

Bill...the large bolts that hold down the AZ are 3/8-16, stainless steel. Same with the elevation axis hold down bolts. So I'd suggest that a few of those 3/6-16 of the right length might work for

Hi Bill If you're talking about the mount to the MA adapter on the tripod, those are 3/8" 16 wrote: -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

I’m resurrecting my old ‘90s vintage GM8, which I’d Upgraded with Gemini v1. First problem I’ve run I to, the three screws to attach the mount to the pier have disappeared. Anyone happen to
