Yesterday I received my moonlite install kit from DBA Astronomy. Top bloke, came nice and fast too.
I'll be installing it tonight/over the weekend, Last night I screwed the curved mounting plate and 1/2" spacer to the focuser itself. It looks nice and feels smooth and accurate on the fine focus knob. The course knob feels a little rough, and seems to move in jerks - is this normal?
Also, on both the course and fine knobs, there's a threaded hole on the grip - what is this for? Can you screw in a metal screw for example, to give you extra leverage and more fine and accurate control over focussing?
Geoff, how did you make sure it was exactly square to the OTA?
I knew I'd had to recollimate, and so I finally got myself a collimation tool - I got the cheshire from DBA at the same time as the install kit.
