Re: ATM Super Polaris Mount

[epabcc@epa.ericsson.se (Bratislav Curcic)]

There are three screws on the eyepiece end of polarscope. They move
the reticule. Technique to align it is to look at something far away
(a star will do !), and rotate mount around RA. The whole field may 
rotate (as finder's axis isn't coincidental with RA axis, and that is
NOT adjustable), but if center cross stays dead on target and rotates
together with it, you have a collimated polarscope.

My opinion is that SP is unusable for astrophotography with anything
above ~6-8 kg, make that even less if scope is long. I don't even dream
of having my ultralight 8" f/6 (7kg total) on Super Polaris. Far too
wobbly for my liking. A slighest breeze sends it into bouncing craze.
Some people may tolerate it, but in my opinion something like 6" f/5 is
about the limit for SP. And this is with a PROPER tripod. Forget those
toothpicks Vixen/Celestron supplies it with.
