Re: More fun than a human should be allowed to have--ServoCAT-ArgoNavis-Stellarium-RemoteDesktop

Re: Declination cable comes loose on spool
The drive cable is wound the wrong way! The end going up should be closest to the mirror box. Must be a real pain trying to 'thread' that up in there as is. Also - indeed the drive roller is over
