Hi all,
A quick question for the more experienced AP operators. I was imaging the Horsehead a couple of nights ago. The mount was behaving and I can get 5 mins subs without any problems.
However, after I flipped the scope (from pointing east to westside) the RA was playing up badly, 30 sec is about the max I can do. Dec stayed the same.
Is this a case of the gears not setting with the worm or some other mechanical issue with the mount?
Thanks
Bo
PS: I noticed when I was packing up that the RA freeplay was very smooth and rotated at will in clockwise direction, but is not as smooth in the anticlockwise direction. Maybe these two events are linked?
