Bill,
Thanks -I haven't got past doing Polaris yet, but its fustrating not
to know what every bit does. My e-bay purchase had no manual(( Any one
got a MAC Sextant Manual? :) )) In fact, while I think of itI'm still
trying to resolve the blurry mirror problem on my Polaris sites - I turned
the mirror 90 deg. just on a whim and the blurryness stopped - so I
releveled
it with a machinest level, and the reading was 30 min off, as compaired to
the
4-5 min I was getting with the blurry image - Now I'm totaly buffalowed!
How 'tight' do things have to be?
Regards to all,
Greg
