jfox61 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Is it stiff all the time? Mine on the Evostar gets stiff when it is cold. It is a result of the cheapo Chinese grease they use goes really thick and feels like half set glue. If so try cleaning this off (away from the scope and lenses I must add) and replace that cheap Chinese grease with some automotive silicon grease.

ollypenrice Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The Baader Steeltrack has an excellent price for its quality. We are using one here on a very seriously expensive imaging rig.Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
