Hi All,
I just like to report that I recently finished an equatorial platform for my home-made 16" truss dobsonian, with the help of Mark Justice and Rod Brackenridge fellow members of the Astronomical Society of Victoria (Instrument Making Section). Last week, I used the first time the Argo Navis in conjunction with the platform. Following the AN manual instruction it worked like a charm. I was ready for all sort of trouble but it worked perfectly from the start. I'm very happy. Now for the weather...
Cheers,
John
