Hi Alexander
Thanks for the clarification. I clearly didn't think through the balance issues. I've made small scopes before but used small focuses and light eyepieces. These scopes were easy to balance.
I've made some new altitude bearings. They are the same diameter but closer to a full circle so there is plenty of space to move them up and down to test balance. I should be able to try them out tomorrow.
I was confused by the term 'lateral squeeze'? I once added Teflon to the inside of the rocker on a 4 inch scope. This squeezed the tube slightly, adding friction and making balance easier. Is that what you mean?
