Hi guys,
I may have an inherently slightly fast RA drive with my scope which is only visible at very high magnifications - ie. like when I am imaging Jupiter at 9 meters focal length.
Have spoken to JMI who made the telescope and sure, although I could get them to make some adjustments to the RA bearing (ie. a new bearing), I was thinking that the simplest solution could be to simply reduce the amount of current that is being fed into the RA/Dec drive.
The scope gets fed with a 240v to 12v adaptor from a 240v household plug.
Is it simply possible to get something as simple as a dimmer type switch that allows me to reduce the amount of current that is being fed into the 240v to 12v power adaptor and then find the perfect point at which the RA drive slows a little to the right level?
Is this solution too simplistic?
This is an image of my scope, and the drive is made my Losmandy.
