Dob Mount & Bearings
Hi All,
Well i've had my scope for a week and the only problem i've had is sticky azimuth motion. Had a look at the mods in projects and articles and applied same. Didn't make a lot of difference even with graphite powder. So i'm getting hold of a few brackets and mounting some bearings into the base. Should still be able to get enough tension to make it steady. I'll let you all know in about a week. As for the viewing here tonight it's lousy. But i'm hoping the cloud will clear by 2-3am. Gotta get some decent eyepieces too!!!
Cheers,
Duncan
