As the weeks roll on bit by bit more gets done on this project.
The Byers gear is in perfect position...no binding anywhere just a smooth as silk, a piece of machinery that is worth worth every cent spent on it... and then some
I decided to add some wood to the mount and what better than Vic Ash...though I prefer Merbu (spelling?) A bit to fill out the spot between the RA gear and PB bearing and the RA brake too, encased in Brass.
Other than brake on the RA shaft, should I need it, new is the RA encoder brackets for DSC's. Built much along the line of the Gaunt's brackets which adjust every which way, to ensure perfect meshing
The Dec axis gets the same bracket for the 10K encoders.
I have no plans to cover the RA gear and electrics yet, other than the long term one of a dome at some stage. Thanks for the appreciative comments from everyone...keep 'em coming
Not long til I can get a scope up on this for a test run...fingers crossed
Well...actually there is a fair bit still to be done before I can attempt that one
