I had asked Mr Teague for a confirmation of my interpretation of his use of the Celestron Micro Guide (CMG) calibrated eyepiece. Specifically, that his methods for measuring double star separations and position angles meant using the CMG in a way different than what Celestron instructed. He replied...

Blake,

You are quite right.  There is actually no contradiction between my CMG instruction and the Celestron instruction sheet, for precisely the reason you mention.  As you rightly point out, my drift method involves using the scales in a different way from that envisaged by the makers.  I can therefore confirm that you are not going crazy!

All the best,
Tom

Always good to know that some people don't think you're going crazy.
