Hmmm, that’s interesting.

I removed the worm end caps a few weeks back for a quick look see. I was staggered by the horizontal movement in the worm, and guessed the Caps are therefore critical in the final placement/adjustment.

I’m talking 3 to 5 mm of movement. Does that sound right?

I didn’t see anything in Astrobaby’s instructions about tuning this, but I’ll re-read them.

Thanks,
Paul
