The only issue is some back slash in the RA gear, no matter how much you tighten the clutch, apparently some people have fixed it withTeflon bushes, but have not been able to find any direct info. |

Hmmm..
Interesting .. how do you find the power consumption over say a typical night's viewing ? Do you use a separate portable battery supply (or mains)?
Also, I read thru the manual for the alignment procedures etc and there seems to be lots about using Polaris (for everything eg: alignment, error correction, etc). Does 3.07 provide enough Southern Hemisphere objects to do this stuff with ? Is it easy to do these things ?
Do you have the solid tube or the collapsible ?
Thanks for the feedback.
Cheers
