Shut off power to the dome and did about a quarter turn on the spring that lets the track and gear mesh together to tighten it a bit. Hopefully adjusting that spring will help with the problem i encountered yesterday. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Mon Jul 4 21:28:31 GMT 2016 Heading down.
