Hi folks, just a quick update. As you know I've been having guiding problems with the MyT mount, did lots of troubleshooting but never really fixed it to my standards. So more googling revealed a certain fix, I hope, that is the mount needing a yearly regrease- except I hadn't done it for almost 3yrs! Pretty sure the clean and regrease will fix, as now I recall stiction was pretty bad- even just slewing revealed sticky gears. So here are the gory pictures, including the nice clean gears and newly greased teeth. Learned plenty from the disassembly process. And wow, such workmanship. And boy, was there a heap of dirty grease in there!

Oh and a bonus pic of the first obs shed to go onto our property here in Tamleugh (Bortle 1 skies 21.9 mags/arcsecs), hereby to be known as TPO-1 , Tamleugh Park Obs 1. It'll look better soon!
