First real testing the last two nights. Both cold, Fri below freezing for a while and very dewy. All I can say is fantastic, especially when I compared with other dobs that I had the opportunity to move each night. Silky smooth in both Alt and Az motions. Super easy to nudge the target into FOV at up to 400x! Alt is probably too smooth - I have the tension springs off and the OTA will take off on me as, for example, I swap out the barlow with 2" eyepiece! I guess I'll have to put the tension springs back on. Or keep practicing. I don't mind drift in Alt, that's easy to return to the object. But bouncing off the rubber stops at the end of travel while I have my back turned......!! A great way to muck up the collimation!
