I always found guiding in RA was much better closer to the pole than the equator. I read somewhere it's due to periodic error having less of an impact closer to the poles, though I don't understand the mechanics of that. I'd get around 0.5 close to the pole, but more like 0.6-0.8 close to the equator.

At least I can fix what I've done without having to remove anything, just loosen 4 bolts and play with two others
When all of the binding went away I figured that it would be fine with a very small amount of wobble in the DEC, I mean tiny! I guess not
