well that should be good, now you have a chance to follow something for a while and observe without touching the tube!

Hi Houghy

I agree, you would laugh if you were present during my first attempts at imaging. Small steps for me, and you guys keep me inspired to keep at it.

Sadly, I cant give it a test drive - except in the house - because its raining, raining and raining.

Cheers Petra

Hi Petra, I'm contemplating an equatorial table. How much does it raise the e/p height.

For mine, it adds about 6 inches to EP height. It also adds some instability (ie: longer dampening times).
