I have read a few of the previous posts about the declination issue (whether it be binding or too much backlash) and would like to get some opinions on what is acceptable for what I am trying to achieve.
My Eq8 has a drive gear that is slightly non-concentric giving me a tight spot and not-so-tight spot as I rotate the declination 360deg. I would like to image at 1500mm focal length using PHD and would like to know what level of backlash is acceptable or can be handled by the software. I am only starting to understand the Eq8 and PHD and so I don’t have much experience to know what is achievable. If the mount isn’t going to achieve the result I want I will obviously have to contact the supplier for a replacement.
Thanks,
Andrew
