No immediate plans to do mine as yet but I suspect it will need to be done at some stage.

By the way, what sort of guiding improvement did you achieve?

Had Skywatcher spent the extra $5 on decent lube, we wouldn't need to tear it down.

T800, huh? I will never look at my mount in the same way again!
Thanks all for the positive feedback.

Gary, unfortunately, due to having no imaging camera AGAIN, I haven't actually had a proper test, but I can say the severe backlash in the DEC axis is gone and the RA PE seems to have smoothed out a little. If nothing else the DEC axis improvement was certainly worth it as I had to wait sometimes 10 minutes for the DEC axis to settle down...

Cheers all
