Joe Z Many thanks for the compliment! I see you on this forum giving great information on many issues. We all help each other. Clear skies! tony

Charles Thanks, so glad I was of some help to you. YouTube is a great place to learn so many things on every subject on Earth. tony

Thank you Michael. Glad it helped. I love the Rigid tool boxes and use them for lots of things. Well built and at a great price too. tony

Was that my video? I stacked the Rigid 22" Tool Box. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wd7IQtZSQw&t=22s&pbjreload=10 tony

Very nice!!! tony

Wayne I have the 1000 lb hydraulic table [item 60438] from Harbor Freight. They are very well built and handy around the shop too. I do not need mine for telescope loading to a mount but I can see how

John Here is what I got https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AjwuTO1nyM tony

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Very well done guys! Tony

Thanks Dale...a very easy project and you don't need to be "exact" with the placement of the tapped hole. Those are my videos by the way. tony

Dale The 1600 mount's cap for the polar scope has a much larger diameter than the AP-900 adapter for the polemaster so it won't work. It works fine for the 1100 as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/w

Here are two examples of how I did it. Very simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piFWxBcJOJ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=550pZhBKeRw&t=16s thanks tony

I did a side by side setup on my 1600 mount with the 130GTX & 175 Starfire EDF. I tried a different technique than AP has on their web site in getting the two scopes balanced. https://www.youtube.com/

I just hold it at the same angle as the Dec axis and start it with no issues with the two axes [RA & DEC] assembled together. The issue I always had was taking the CW shaft off and sticking to the CW

You're welcomed Ben tony

Bob I use this setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wd7IQtZSQw tony

So, yesterday the video I did had a few mistakes...Oops! Decided to redo it for correctness. Actually think this version turned out much better anyway. Sorry for any issues it may have caused. Hirose

I did a short video showing what you need if you want to get them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xTdJQBd0SA tony

I drilled some weep holes to help out if any water / moisture got into the CP unit. I found out something interesting between the 2015 CP4 and the 2018 CP4 units. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwU5i

In case any of you want to know the verdict on my 1600GTO RA axis issue I had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lupLxrYyI40&t=16s Thanks to everyone at AP for your help. tony
