No problem Rob
Another tip
Don’t be concerned about doing up to 3 to 5 iterations to get the error down , on nights of poor seeing it can take up to 6 goes at it to get down below 1 arc minute
Also another tip if you get your error down below 1 arc minute and want to go lower , on your next iteration don’t undo the Az or Alt bolts , just try to squeeze and turn the black bolt knob a bit tighter. Sometimes it works and you end up lower other times it doesn’t, just give it a try. The bolts on the EW6-R are so chunky that even a squeeze on the bolts changes your Az and Alt by arc seconds
