    The meter is of a high quality and works really well. Not only is it great for helping to find perfect balance in stiff mounts but it is a fantastic aid to fine tuning your mount for the best guiding. It will assist you in adjusting your worm drive/gear mesh to the optimum setting and giving you great smooth tracking and excellent guiding numbers.

    Hi Glen, what the zig zag lines mean in your traffic laws?

    • @Astrobloke
      @Astrobloke  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No stopping or parking at any time. They are used on approaches to crossings and outside schools. Its to keep the road clear of obstructions so its safer for people to cross the road. Big fine and points on your licence if caught.
