Hi
Can anyone direct me to a good DIY article on building a mechanism
to allow independent pointing of my Meade 80mm apo refractor? Maybe rings but are there better ways? It would need to be something sturdy so that I would not get flexure but just be able to adjust pointing by a few degrees (eg when I need to search for a suitable guide star).
Cheers Peter
