On another note, over the weekend I pretty much completed the 16"
wiring up the Argo Navis stalk and making a light shroud. The only thing
left to do... apart from wait for the moon to go away. I'm going to have Gary
make up some custom encoder leads that will be built into the stalk and will
have a junction box at the bottom of it. So I can leave the Azi encoder
lead permanently installed. Alt encoder lead will be tied to the Alt tangent
arm so both can be removed for travel.
The scope itself is bottom heavy even with the AN hanging off the SC. So
I'm thinking of either adding an optical finder or move the mirror further
up the mirror box.
I gave the bearings a bit of car wax test and was impressed with the
results.
I'll put together a bit of a final photo pictorial post it in a few days. I'm
already thinking about the next one : )
regards,CS
