    Entropy isn't what it used to be.

    Hi all, So there was me thinking I just have to undo the four nuts on the plate underneath the centre of the mount, then maybe undo a central locking bolt... and lift... to separate them. Nah... course it ain't that easy. The nuts on those blots are stiff-nuts so the bolts turn with the nuts. So I thought, OK, I must need to work from both sides. Removed the motor/encoder cover plate, undid the four machine screws holding that assembly to the base and... nope, the motor/encoder doesn't lift out of the way. I'm currently searching for instructions, pref with images, but so far I'm swamped with non relevant bumph. Does anybody know of a good site, please?

    Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.

      Collected all eight of the big ones, but Pluto is a minor planet now, so threw that one away.

    Knowing Murphy's Law won't help either.

    If a jogger runs at the speed of sound, can he still hear his walkman?

    First efforts

    Images added to a gallery album owned by squeaky in Member's Album

    These are my first ever efforts at astro-photography. As first efforts I'm pleased with them - but sheesh! there's a lot to learn!
