Hi Bojan,
Thanks for the comment and your advice while I was building this. The fuse is no longer a problem. I replaced some dodgy wiring and all is well there now. I do have the current limiting circuit to allow faster slews. Gotos are reasonably good for a wood and epoxy mount. I can get all objects in the field of view of a low power eyepiece. Tracking is always more than adequate for visual observing. The only issue I have is that gotos sometimes become less accurate after 3 to 4 hours. If I re-initialise on 2 stars then everything is fine again.
I am currently in the Northern Territory observing with my new travelscope while on holidays. Skies are great although we have had clouds the last couple of days. I miss the tracking and ease of locating objects with my Bartelised scope.
Rod.
