Hello All, I just saw, on the Anacortes web site, that Takahashi has announced a new 5in. short focal length refractor, the TOQ-130. I put myself on the...
I've been noticing lately that I get drift in RA with my EM200. Polar alignment is good using the polar sight and there is no drift in dec. The error is...
