I found that cable management is very important, so important in fact that I have been getting infinitely better results by just leaving the QHY power cable lose due to its weight and thickness. With the EQ6 the cables always seem to be hanging over or across something. The USB cables don't matter but the heavy QHY 9-pin power cable caused a lot of grief for me for a while. I was having trouble with 300s exposures and actually figured that I was having a lot of differential flexure. Left the power cord lose one night as a test and it fixed my issue. RMS didn't change (very slow movement/drag) but now I am back to getting better 1200" than I was on 300". A regrease did help too.
Point being, sometimes good cable management is just having no cable management
