hello all
i had to make a slight adjustment to my dobs movement the other day
i found out that ive got to have both of the springs on to have a smooth up and down motion if i try it with just the one it gets too easy to move the slightest breeze or touch will move it. (i dont know if there is an other thing i could try ?)
the next problem i had was the left and right movement (is or was a real pain)
it has a central bolt straight thru with washers and a lock nut. i had to tighten the nut so tight that it bent the wahers that came with it, that would last only a couple of rotations before even (yep) the lock nut came lose.
so i invested in a spring washer and new washers x2.
(my base is made up with the rollerbearing type plate)
and it seems to tighten up well now i havent had a chance to test it out observing yet Clouds and actually had some rain today (friday morning) so hopefully ive got a well behaved movement for now
also i have a question in regarding the up and down movement is there another adjustment i can make on the dob besides the tension springs ?
