Hello fellow astro friends,


One of the parts I'm working on now is a tilt adapter for a focuser rotator for a customer. Things were not so square, and with no way to change that, I made him a tilt adapter, quite simple, I opted for 6 push pull screws rather than 3. One can use 3 of the 6 to get things running true, then snug up the other 3 for added support. Nothing like overkill 😁

Here you can see me getting the rotator to run true with the aid of the tilt adapter. I made a foot long tube to thread into the adapter to test it with a dial gauge.
