Just did it again to be sure, and short answer: Yes. The RA axis gets a lot tighter, but I'd still say not as tight as dec. But, is that just because the RA is carrying the scope and counter weight?

Anyway, I spent the morning removing the 3 cables I worked so hard to install. If it's clear I will test again but I will be very surprised if my results are any different. After that, one more test of swapping ra/dec worms...really a job I don't want to do at all.

Greg, I'm really close to taking your advice!
