The stock mount and hardware are just awful. I've replaced the collimation screws with bob's knobs, but collimation is still a huge pita thanks to the lame mechanics. Has anyone done any upgrade work in this area? I couldn't find any via google. -------------------- -Chadd • Meade SN-8 and WO ZS110 piggyback on CGE • ST2000XM and DSI Pro II Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 6 registered and 5 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
