All this of course is useless unless the mount is even better than the resolution of the optics in tracking of the object being imaged.
This was not an accident. I calculated in my head what I would need to do quite some time ago. I first gathered all the evidence or real knowledge by reading all I could. I have a slight advantage as I am supposedly knowledgable in things optical. I knew flexure would be a problem. My old mates in the instrument workshop at CSIRO used to say 'anything that can be built is always adjustable!'
