Hey Ken

Nice to hear from you mate.

There's still plenty to learn and plenty of head scratching to be done!

I've gone a bit mad lately trying to give the old SkyWatcher a bit of a spit and polish.

Apart from the motor drives my new MoonLite CR2 focuser arrived today. Very nice bit of gear too. Only prob is the OTA curve adaptor holes don't match up with the holes in my tube when I remove the original R&P. Not a prob, you say? Drill new ones? Well, those new holes would be very close to the existing holes.

I'm not sure how much metal (space) I need betwen new and old holes to maintain some degree of integrity/ strength?

Any thoughts ....anyone????
