First light was last night and man she tracks fine
I first had to grind one of my stainless steel dovetail's to fit the Losmandy mount.
I had to grind a 45 Degree angle or it didn't fit in
Got it to fit half way
Then i had to focus by hand and because i just wanted to see if it guided well i was a bit off focus.
Did a quicky on Omega Centaury and it worked
Today i bought a new flapper disk and a grinding disk to make a proper dovetail.
Man that was a pain in the backside
because i wanted to do it properly.
My stainless steel is that hard that it wore out the grinding disk quick, but it got the job done
Then using the flapper disk, i made everything smooth, and then i spray painted it satin black.
It has a 45 Degree angle in it, but also a groove along both sides so the sharp end of the mount head sits in that groove.
The groove does go downwards at the end so it can slide down, but never fall off the mount even if i want it to
Now the autofocus is working again i can do a proper first light for the mount tonight
For everyone who want to use stainless steel for a dove tail i say "DON'T DO IT" unless you don't want any flex
