Wanna make a scope? Or better still, grind a mirror yourself. Or, you have some good tips in making a really useful accessory? This is the place to show what your hands can do...

The alt axis can be removed now by pulling the vixen saddle plate.

That is all. It is done out of a curious mind. I learned how things could go wrong and could be rectified :) Someone will also get an idea on how to install encoders in the EZtouch.

Good luck :)

Wow, anat, you're really a "tinkerer" eh? :)

Anyway, you mentioned the Alt axis can both be rotated to point at the same place ... do you thinkt his can be done on the AstroSlew I? :)

Anat, you're a brave soul! I wouldn't dare to dissassemble something so expensive and delicate. :)

Jeremy, I don't know about the Astroslew. It is your turn :)

You don't need to understand anything. The pictures are worth thousand words. :)
