incompatible dovetail holes

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hello Robert!

I'm not familiar with your setup particularly, but is it possible to "drill" holes into the dovetail? (I understand this is a "crude" method, but it should work if necessary...)

Hopefully others with the same setup as yours will reply, with other options...


Clear skies!

Unbelievable GOTOs!

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Congrats Joe! 8)
Yup, good GOTOs will save you time "searching" and will allow you to spend more time "observing"...

ENJOY IT!

Dances With Wolves

Rod, thanks for a good reading, and a good laugh! 8) grin

There is nothing like having a good observing buddy while out there... it seems to me you two make a nice "observing couple"... wink (don't know why I picture Abbot & Costello here..., my apologies) wink 8)

OK, in all seriousness, it is great to hear about these outings, even if not perfect... you guys had a good time, besides the "little" issues.

Could have been better, could have been worst...


Clear skies, my friends! 8)
