Hi All; I have a Orion XT10i Dob it's about a year old now and I was thinking of trying to jazz it up a bit. although the movement of the dob base is ok it not great, I put some ebony star on it but it's still not what I'm looking for. The weekend before last I was at a small star party, someone had a home made dob and it moved like glass. Is there any way I can get the Oran to move like that.... ? or do I need to build a new base... if so where can I get the plans. The scope is my ten year old daughters so ease of movement is impotent
Thanks for any help you can give.
Bob.
