Hi Guys,

After 6 years of (not so) intense efforts, the construction of my 17.5 dob
is coming to an end. Some questions remains.

When I move my scope in altitude, the mirror box shift laterally and touch
the rocker. How do you deal with this problem. Do you put some teflon on the
inside of the rocker ? Does it affect the overall calculation for the teflon
pad surface ?

Do you use bearings to prevent it ?

thanks for your help.

Patrick
