Hi all
here are some pictures of my dob.I got the dob from Andrews communications and the goto system from lenard in the states.Hade big tracking problems at first,star would drift quickly across the field of view.So i have increased the back lash , have not tested as yet.I also made a new bace as you can see.
enjoy the pictures hope they turn out

Hi John & welcome :D
How much did the tracking set up cost ?
I have the best of both worlds, a simple 10" Dob & an LX-90, when ever I need to use it !
I dont think i will be making the Mods myself, but i am sure others will be interested !
