Finally, it Works!
My Meade telescope with the dysfunctional mounting arm that, upon "repair," totally fell apart WORKED for the first time tonight with a totally new mounting arm.
Too bad it was cloudy outside and too bright, so I saw absolutely nothing. I need to live out in the country somewhere; it's so cool having that thing track a star FOR ME. A telescope for idiots, til I start figuring out WHERE the stars are on my own.
And jeez, I can't find north. I mean, I have a vague idea, but I'm not good at it.
But anyway, if anyone out there is reading and cares, it works. Seems I've scared away everyone it's been so long since I've written anything...
