Robert,
They're tension screws. Your scope should move like a dobsonian mount-very easily in all directions, and stay where you put it without having to tighten the screws. Are you using the proper balance plate? It sounds like your scope is not balanced properly. -Kurt Horsley

Belted Kingfisher

Awesome! There seem to be plenty of these birds around but good pictures are hard to get. The birds are small, fast and usually keep thier distance. Nice one. -Kurt Horsley

Now you've done it!...I've been trying not to post any off-topic pictures, but you've opened the can of worms now. By the way, nice shot. You're really lucky to have such an amazing area to use for photography. I could walk 500 miles and not see anything like that. -Kurt Horsley
