Thumbs up New GSO kit available

Hi Eric,

Thanks again for the post.

Indeed, the new GSO scopes now come with a different Altitude bearing arrangement
including new trunnions fabricated in aluminium that act as tensioning devices.
They come with thrust bearings inside and are adjustable in height.

These first appeared on the GSO 16 truss pole scopes.

We already have a kit available to suit these scopes. The user needs to
unscrew one of the trunnions and ship it to us for modification and installation
of the encoder coupler.

See here for details -

Kev (aka Kevnool) has a scope with one of these kits. In Kev's case,
he's trunnion arrived here in Sydney on a Friday and the complete system
was shipped to him by Monday morning, including the re-machined trunnion.

Thanks again for the post and I hope this coming week affords everyone the
most transparent and steady of skies.

Best Regards
