1. I hypertuned the mount, (didnt replace any bearing).
2. fitted a Rowan belt kit
3. Run PEC in EQmod
4. Run Predictive pec in PHD2
My mount works well now, rms will still move over 1 on a poor seeing night which is to be expected.
I used to look at some of the almost perfect graphs on other forums and wondered how they do it on cheap mounts in light polluted cities, something did not ring true to me in, the reason I mention this is because beginners (myself included) and others often look at these graphs and try to replicate the graphs on their mounts without much success.
As long as you have tight round stars thats all that counts in the final washup
If I can help with any of the above let know
Hope this helps Russ |
Couldn't agree more with that last paragraph......there are probably 300,000 or more mounts out there in the world, the best 50 guide graphs get posted as 'this is how good my guiding is' and then we all try to compare ours to that.
As long as you stars are round then the guiding is perfect in my opinion!
