My iOptron tripier and tripods started to rust in no time in Seattle . I’m using the ATS as well. For my 14” truss RC I bought a harbor freight hydraulic table to position the scope up and into the sa

Great report! Now I have not heard of the fish scale test. I suspect I understand, but is there a link to the description? Cheers

Thanks, I’ll read that through Cheers

I’ve mounted my 130mm refractor, just set my horizon and meridian limits. What’s the best setting for NINA: Stop Tracking, Park Mount, Flip Scope, just warn. And what settings in NINA if any? Also, I
