I had a lazy susan bearing on my 10" dob mount, and even had some "carpet bits" for added stiction, but the mount still moved far too easily and acted like a weather vane, so I removed the bearing altogether and added some furniture glides. The furniture glides are too "sticky" I find and I have to nudge harder eventually knocking my target out of the eyepiece.

I still have the lazy susan and I can still put it on the mount, but I'd like to know what I could do / use to make the azimuth motion less prone to moving so easily.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
