Re: Explore Scientific Twilight II Alt-Az mount
My TWII sits outside 24/7/365 with that setting circle installed. When I decide to take a couple of fracs to the desert, it amazes folks how fast one can put a target in the eyepiece using the circle and a Wixey. I don't understand why everyone doesn't install one. Eazie Peezy.

Re: Explore Scientific Twilight II Alt-Az mount
That was over five years ago. I suggest you just go look at it yourself via this link:

Stupid AF would only let me load five pics to the blog, but I posted a total of eight pics in this link:

Best I can do for you.

Re: Explore Scientific Twilight II Alt-Az mount
I know there's a mismatch since the TW1 is an M10 and I use a 3/8 bolt on the pod, but I've been able to tighten it down no problem before. I'm thinking maybe the 3/8 bolt got partially stripped somehow, but I didn't have time for a close inspection this morning.
