Thanks Peter,
Yes I did see your advice, so while I proceeded, I did so with caution if it's any consolation...
It seems to work ok but as I said i ned to get my polar align etc just right and haven't had a chance to test things out (i soooo long for more time at the scope)
I really think that the very best soluton would be an extended base plate so the amount of counterveights can be kept to a minimum.
Anyways, I did think of moving into planetary imaging at some time but I want to aim it at some very small faint and fuzzies first.
Planetary will come though!
by the way, grounding Gemini and a cold start seems to have resolved the issues we discussed but havent had time to give it a full night test yet.
will do this weekend!
