Hi,

Do GSO make the 16" Lightbridge mirror anyway? Given GSO's experience, what could go wrong?

Are you thinking that there may be issues with the mount, like stiction in the the usual teflon pads on the alt bearing (az movement is on a roller bearing according to GSO)?

Actually, on a related note, I fancy there is a bit too much flex in the uprights of my Bintel 12" Dob, I think I will brace them a bit. Maybe that is the sort of thing to wait on.

Cheers
