Hi Rob,

I added a 5x powermate and a 25mm plössel - all 1.25" barrel (scope initially adjusted for 30mm 2" barrel GSO EP). I would have expected that the tube is rather going down due to the increased weight.

The clutch-knobs on either side are both tightened as fast as I can reasonably do (did the same to the centre screw on the base). I would have thought that once all is tightened no movement would be possible but the scope is still moving at the slightest touch.

Now, with the magnets - I am not sure if I got you. Did you attach the magnets to the outside of the mirror cell?

BR
