Yeah. Sorta amounts to the same thing.

Yes. I wanted and got a 3" reflector. It came with a tripod mount so I built an equatorial but made it too tall. Once I remade it the right height it wouldn't hold a setting. Needed thumbscrews in the joints and I had no taps and dies.

Now it's in my storage shed and there's not enough visible sky here to bother with it.

BTW, I sent you an email with a sample program a couple days ago. Lemme guess... gmail didn't like the attachment and you didn't see it.

Nope. Try again. If zipped, rename to piz or something.
