Background
I am one of these guys that is always trying to improve or adapt upon what others have invented. In these pages are some of the maligned ideas to what I perceive as being better. My apologies to the original inventors.

Saturn
Photo of Saturn taken in November 2003 eyepiece projection. Equipment used:20" Obsession, 26mm eyepiece, Sony F717 Digital. ServoCat Tracking Driven by Argo Navis Digital setting circles.
Brief synopsis of content.
The Obsession pages are adding thumbscrews to an older Obsession secondary and changing the handle design to fit in limited space of pickup truck bead without the need of handle removal. Also adding a third wheel for easy long distance transport.
The LX90 pages are just adding in internal weights to the internal fork arm that does not contain the drive system. This is to aid in balancing the system when using the scope mounted in polar mode.
The DS114 bearing mods are replacing the stock bushing bearings with a roller design in an attempt to remove some of the play in the mount and smooth out the overall operation of the scope.
The Cartes du Ciel section is a collection of catalogs extracted from the Meade Autostar system to be used in Carted du Ciel.
The What's Up section is any special observing projects I may be working on. Most of the time it will just contain a list of Messier and Herschel object currently visible from around here.
