Dob owners: Achieve precise az/el motion with these inexpensive DIY mods.
To my brothers on the Magellanic side—
Those of you who own plain-vanilla, un-motorized Dob rigs no doubt find it frustrating — despite the excellent balance and bearing characteristics of your rigs — to make minor azimuth and elevation movements while peering through high-power eyepieces.
Perhaps the simple, inexpensive, and easily made modifications (see photos) I've made to my own Zhumell 10-inch platform will be of interest.
I would be glad to respond to inquiries.
