Re: How to Re-grease a Mach1 with Auto-Adjust Motor Boxes?

Good idea to re-do the PE correction curve after re-doing the grease. It may have changed due to wear from the previous time you did it.

I'm not sure what the big deal is, John. Hardcopy instructions are included with the $25 grease kit that you can order over the phone from Astro-Physics. The paper instructions are certainly adequate alone; I don't think a video would add much besides just parroting what they say.
Here's my pictorial from when I regreased my Mach1 last summer. https://imgur.com/a/xS3jzJf /dale > On Mar 8, 2021, at 18:23, John A.

Past work life aside, I did not instruction manual with pictures for every step on how to install a Starlight Instruments two speed micro focuser on a Skywatcher 180 Maksutov Cassegrain. The default single speed was actually all metal with no plastic parts but for a high magnification scope, it has to be a dual speed. > > Its a lot of work.

Its necessary because otherwise I'm sending my mounts back to be re-greased. I will not be doing it by myself now. > > > > John A. Sillasen > > > -- Roland Christen Astro-Physics
