looks great a good idea too

i guess it would be similar to convert one of the meade ETX's to a dovetail (somthing iv been considering for the 70AT

i guess as long as you have tube rings tight enough it should be ok really, but they might have to be custom jobbies

Do you know where I can get the adapter for battery to lead from?

hello guys

as you know i have a little etx 70AT was having a play with it last night and today and i forgot how sharp the views actually were. i know iv said how rubbish these scopes are but mainly its the build quailty of the mount

any way

a long while ago to my knowlage it was working, i put some fresh batterys into it (never got around to getting cable for powertank) but i put durecell pro cells

i turned it on, it did somthing funky, did a 360 and an error message came on the controller. detected a motor fault. swap controller (dont know any one with one) swap batterys (batterys were fresh out of a box of 10)

any ideas how i can get it to work or what i should do instead. i'll be honest i have never gotten auto star to work properly, mainly cos i used batterys (cold = low voltage) i was a hell of a lot younger, and had a father who was very impaintent and wouldnt help me even though he was a electriction

any suggestions or help very welcome
