    Re: SNO-T sextant Galilean telescope
    From: Peter Monta

    Bill Morris recommends filing the fork on the telescope, which is the right way to go.  But if you want something very quick to start with, you could apply a few layers of masking tape to shim the bottom parts of the telescope fork.  A layer of 0.5 mm or so will tilt it a few degrees.  You can check it with your ruler (or a sheet of paper or card stock, which are generally quite square and would offer a longer baseline on the sextant frame).  It will give you a hint as to how much to file---sneak up on it slowly.

    Cheers,
    Peter
