Hansjoerg, Generally, declination drift will occur in one direction only, +Y or -Y (assuming DEC=Y axis). Using a non-calibrated ST-4, determine which...
Harvey, I have both a G-11 and Mach 1 (and 900GTO, since you can never have too many mounts). Both are fine mounts. The G-11 has been tuned w/ the precision...

Jim - No problem. I'll be taking some new ones in a week or so, as soon as I'm finished upgrading my backyard observing pad. (New mulch and light screens!)...
Hi, During the winter nights I carry my mount from garage to driveway and back when I'm done. Outside temperature might be as low as 5 F and in garage 60 F....
