... Despite the use of counterweights, I have had ongoing problems with preventing unwanted motion in altitude, particularly during star parties when everyone seems to want to lean on the telescope while observing. ... After some difficulties at a windy star party a few years ago at the Boston Museum of Science, I designed a simple and very effective altitude brake and slow motion control which can be assembled very quickly and at minimal cost. ...
