Guide it !

well here i am my conundrum, bran new eq6 mount, 10" perched nicely atop set up my alignment and leave it there, go get the miss's about 10 min later and to find the object has "drifted "

Drift alginment must be out by a bit, so how do i do drift alignment? i have nothing to see the drift drifting.

I need to build me a cross hair eye piece

HOT GLUE i was told from a sagely advice

so i hot glued it up so now i have a nice cross hair eye piece

Ingredients

A un used high mag eye piece
Some very thinly pulled hot glue
some glue of some description
2 tweezers.
steady hand

and here it is ( i have run a yellow filter to keep the cross hairs protected)
