A Simple Device to Adjust the Platform Azimuth Alignment

One thing that I had great difficulty with at first, was to move the scope to make fine adjustments to the alignment of the platform. The 25" is heavy when it is all assembled, too heavy to move easily. I had this idea that made use of a simple turn buckle on smooth wooden blocks. This works so well that I can turn the buckle with my fingers and make very fine adjustments while performing the "Drift Method" of equatorial alignment.
