Popular Post +Graham Posted March 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 Up bright and early this morning to set up ready to lap the DEC Axis gears. After a few headaches I got the motor jury rigged and ready to go. Finally got running at 9 O'clock.

+Graham Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Well sadly the motor bearing did not last and I had to replace it. Still not to worry only ten mins lost. A few more hours to go. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 It did sound a bit rough. +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 That's it. All done. Tomorrow's task is to run all the wires through the mount ready for the motors to be fitted. I have decided to make a few adjustments to the old scope so I can fit it on to this mount. That way I can do a shake down test on the mount and use the big mirror whilst I build the new scope. Should be up and running next week with a fair wind. Looking forward to it. More to follow as it happens. +RonC, +Ibbo, BAZ and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 That's an epic project Graham, just homebrew ( loosely said of course...chough!) engineering at it's best. Well done Sir. +Graham and +RonC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thanks Stephen. Started my own Astro channel on You Tube so I have somewhere to keep them all. ? Smithysteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hi Graham, have you thought about entering your YouTube site permanently on your signature.? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I thought about it Stephen. In fact I did put the link up in my signature but took it off again. It is more of a place where I can upload and store videos so I can post them on here rather than a coherent channel. You can get to it by clicking the circular logo in the top left corner on any of my videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
