But that's my question, I'm only interested in the RA axis, 1 of the 2 amps usually quoted (which is guided most as Dec should be doing minimal with a good alignment).
When folks quote the draw of the EQ6 as 2 amps slewing, 1 amp in either axis yes. But where do they draw that figure from? How to measure it.
I think this is the part I'm needing an answer to. To set the RA draw as 1.10 to get the worm "just so"...or perhaps I'm grasping at smoke...
