The deck has been repaired and tonight I have everything Polar aligned and the scope is up and running again after a few months off.
In stripping down and repairing the mount I took the opportunity to remesh the gears and also redo PEM given the rough ride it’s had.
Am a tad surprised that the mount isn’t trashed. I had a few emails with George at AP, solved a couple of niggling issues and it’s happily doing everything it should be doing despite its adventure.
Sigh of relief. God bless AP.
Oh, by the way, 4 days after picking up the Tesla, we were rear-ended but it’s now out of the repair shop as good as new….gaah.
Clear skies…
