Just wanted to let the group know that the thinner compression ring adapter from Heiko Wilkens is very well made and finished. I consider it a must have...
pawel how are you? tim brown restored an NJP wooden tripod -> http://www.astromart.com/classifieds/details.asp?classified_id=417893 i like the lighter finish....

If the 4" TOA focuser is roughly simillar to the FS-102 2.7" focuser, then it's easy to adjust it. just inscrew the wierd-looking-flat screw holding the bottom...
Hi Pawel, As a somewhat experienced woodworker I would recommend a finishing oil such as Watco, (they come in natural or a selection of stains to match your...
Perhaps a silly question but it isn't obvious to me from the manual, is there a way to tell the EM-10 (USDIII) to temporarily stop tracking from the hand-held...
Not completely. The best you can do is issue a negative RA command with the correction speed at the default 90%. This will slow it down to .1X sidereal. Gene...

Gentlemen, I would like to thank everybody for input. It looks like the oil is a way to go as the tripod legs were apparently oiled in the first place. Now I...
