Hello all,

Thanks to Gary and Sheeny for your very informative answers. To tell you the truth I haven't even been able to use my scope and mount once yet I have had troubles with getting tube rings to fit and then discovered I had problems with the counterweights, ie not enough. So I hope i have solved all that but now Sydney is in the midst of a mini rainny season so I have to wait for that too.

It all seems to come down to the squareness of everything. Like I said before I am using tube rings to mount my scope to the dovetail bar, then to the mount. Is there any way that I can attach the tube rings and get all of that squared away or at least look at it to see the squareness. I am asking about that because it is something that I can fix easily.

I am thinking that i might just use the scope for a bit, have a little fun, then get into the seriousness of alligning everything properly and do some astrophotography.

Thanks again to all
Paul
