Thanks Jim!

I'm going to start by trying to adjust the worms.  The Gemini tracks
well and seems to compensate for the slop when it flips, but I really
want it tighter for photo work.  With the mostly widefield,
constellation-portrait shots I've done, a tiny bit of wobble is not a
big deal---I took the shots on my website with a CG-5!

Thanks agin, I'll walk through the steps you list and see where I end
up.

regards,

roland
