Even with the maximum tension on the adjustment knob, the telescope creeps from the desired azimuth with the slightest touch or breeze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecond, there is no support or contact for the outside edge (rim) of the baseboard upon the ground board. This results in rocking of the baseboard. Most other Dobsonians have Teflon pads or some other support directly over the feet of the ground board. This is exactly where the support should be. In a properly designed Dobsonian, the weight of the baseboard is supported in the middle, but also (importantly) directly over the feet so that the weight of the baseboard is transferred through the ground board directly to the feet. The middle of the baseboard and the edge of the baseboard are both fully supported. Any possible “rocking” of the baseboard is eliminated. Unfortunately, this is not so with Zhumell’s “wagon wheel” design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese problems are completely eliminated with Farpoint’s easy to install Azimuth Upgrade Kit.
