Dear All
I have started to use the orange tube C14 at our local club.
(see
http://www.unentas.armidale.com/history.htm )
It is an old scope and has limited function.
It has a good RA drive that seems reasonably accurate. There are motors in both directions and 2 different slewing speeds.
The problem I have with it is aiming it at all. I can release the clutches and aim it at anything I can see in the finder with little problems but star hopping seems very difficult. There is only a limited amount of travel on the worm in dec. I can use the hand controller within that limit but then would need to release the clutch and lose where I am aiming. Is there some trick to using this scope?
