Orion's new intelliscope linePosted By Greg Granville |
So, I wonder what the Alt motion is going to feel like on these scopes? It seems they've completely abandoned the traditional Dobsonian alt bearing approach. It looks a lot more like the little spring loaded friction clutches we had on Newts 40-50 years ago... They usually had a lot of "stiction" (jerky movement) when pressure was applied to move them.
It will be interesting to see how they've overcome this.
