Thank you most kindly for the warm welcomes, I'm looking forwards to learning from you all.

Best regards, Jon.

I had this problem with the missing Alt inclination bolt at the rear of the mount on my EQ1, I replaced it with an M8 x 50 stainless steel cap head set screw from a local industrial fasteners supplier. They were kind enough to supply both the set screw and wrench key free of charge.

Hello my name is Jon and I live in Alfreton, Derbyshire.

I recently acquired a Skywatcher Capricorn EQ1 for very little money, I have had to source an alternative lens cover (improvisation) and replace a couple of missing bolts and now all seems serviceable. This is my first telescope and hopefully it will lead to greater things in the future. I'm a complete novice but........ Eager to learn and take note.

Please be gentle 🫣

Best regards, Jon.
