When we were at Coona on Friday, I met Pete (iTelescope.net) who took us through his shed and showed us the scopes there.
A very impressive facility - well done to the iTelescope guys. Looks great!
I did notice Fred's scope - and noticed a small problem with the mount - it was sticking a bit in RA.
So I fixed it for him. Should be fine now, Fred :)

Holly cow :eyepop:. Yes, it has been sticking a bit in RA, what you look like you did is exactly what I wanted to do :mad2:.
Did you actually do something :help:, other than smack the stupid thing ?.

Oh I also noticed a bit of dust on your sensor so I spat on it and used my t-shirt to clean it off. :)
I'm guessing that's why Pete had it so close by! :)
haha with a sledgehammer? :)
I'm sure the graph looks better now :)

Mike, using such a large tool on such delicate hardware is likely to cause serious harm, why weren't you wearing personal protective gear.
Do the other mods know you've been spamming up the forum....:P
