THanks for the responses here and PM.
for 1captain-
the HH mount is a Perfect 10 (ajax?). The stripped gear is in the reduction cluster.
I am going to mount the
actuator so it is to the side of the mount (east coast) and is pushing on the ring that mounts the dish to the pivot. I am setting it so the arm is perpendicular to the ring and pushing "straight ahead" at due south. With 1/2 the extension at due south, I hope to get most of the arc that I can see. G10r is the best I can see to the west, and AMC6 the other way.
I suppose that if I set minimum extension for g10r and i'm balanced ok, then I should be able to get to AMC6. Can't go much further east anyway- house in the way.
