AndyH 885 Posted December 14, 2011 The pedestal sleeve is a bit different to mine. Looks a tad longer. Once the locking grub screws on it are removed, does the screw off or slip off? Mine is a slip fit, but I've heard older MT-2C's screwed on. Link to comment
Andy McK 449 Posted December 14, 2011 As in, does the mount drop into the pier? yup, slip fit.Pain I found, when polar alignin' I get Polaris bang on, nip up the locking screws, but because the "V" in the pedistal bit is not "on center" as u tighen up, az drifts off a bit, so u have to allow for it. "guess" Link to comment
AndyH 885 Posted December 16, 2011 Ahh. This bit.... 'V' in the pedestal? Regarding polar alignment. I've not had a chance to try this out, but I'm hoping it might work.....see half way down this thread of mine.... http://stargazerslounge.com/discussions-scopes-whole-setups/132021-bored-bored-bored.html I'm going to try a std small finder also. Could speed up the setting up of the older Tal mounts without polar scopes. Link to comment
Andy McK 449 Posted December 16, 2011 That looks like a totaly different setup to mine, give me 5, i check Link to comment
AndyH 885 Posted December 17, 2011 Ah sorry, understand what you mean by the 'V'. The machined V groove round the cirumference.You can just make out the ribbed RA wheel in the above shot.If the weather holds up, I'm going to try out the polar scope bodge. Do you know if tiny 'H' shaped aluminium is available. Would be less hastle(and more accurate) than cutting & screwing together two bits of channel together. Link to comment
