Stu Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Excellent session there Paul. Glad the goto is working reliably now, makes such difference when you are not battling kit problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive put it down to only using one weight it was on the very edge of the counter weight bar and I thought it was balanced. When I went out a couple of weeks back balanced as usual but the OTA was pulling down not fast but enough, I thought if I put both weights on it would not work but tried pushed both to the top it was balanced. Crossed fingers it seems to be hitting everything now, last night everything was dead centre of the FOV unless I moved the focuser to a more comfortable position when it moved a bit but I just left it there. Tonight same again I have been dancing round the garden anyone seen me think I`m mad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
