Hi

I don't know what the DOB 2 driver is like these days because I haven't used one for 9 years. However I did a lot of experimentation on a 8" Dob in the years prior to this.

I found a lot of shortcomings in the supplied computer program and wrote a new one but although I got it to work with a two star alignment and track nicely the gotos tended to get erractic due to the friction drive mainly for the RA (azm) bearing but also a little on the Dec (alt) bearing.

I intended to make a full belt drive for the RA (azm) but never got past the drive stage. mainly because I bought a LX200 classic.

I will attach my notes (A Msword Doc) in case they are some help. I think I still have the computer control program somewhere also.

PS I managed to find some old pictures of the installation.
