Morning team,
Hope we are all travelling well in these uncertain times. I decided to rip down the NEQ6 Pro and just regrease everything because as much as I love Easter, I hate seeing eggs in the sky. The errors in the gears were just to hard to fix, so I stripped it down, regreased and belt mod it. I was always chasing numbers on PHD 2 and with hours and hours I never really got better than 1" rms. After the complete rebuild I managed to get a rough 0.7" rms total, so things have improved quite dramatically even with a very rough PA for now. The graph looks spikey so there may even be more room for improvement as well with the meshing of the worm gear.
Question:
There is one strange thing happening from time to time, the tracking stops in RA and the star drifts away out of range quite fast as well. Maybe the belt is to tight, not sure but if anyone has an idea I'd love to hear it. All the bearings rolled very nicely and there should be no need to think they are jamming...but know knows at this stage?
Thanks for looking
