around christmas my buddy bought me fairly beaten up scope. he thought if the scope was junk that we would be able to use the tripod and mount since it was a 114mm scope. same as the celestron we use. well he was right, the mount and tripod were real solid, the scope on the other hand would be better used as a makeup aplication mirror. see it has a flimsy plastic focuser that looks like it would break if i decided to grip it. well now i have two ways i can set up the celestron, if i have...

no, using the colomation screws i moved the mirror as far up the tube as possible, i am certain if i di anymore the primary would just fall off. I need to get some longer lock screws to make it fixed in place. but it led to many more questions and concerns which i brought up in this post my biggest issue is tracking. and the lack of knowledge to change the tracking speed to suit planatary movement

Do i follow the OLD saying Last in First out, or do i weigh in on all aspects. perhaps a performance review is needed and let the broad picture, in relation to what is required be the dec...
