Thanks all for your comments
Much appreciated !!
I believe the USB3 hub issue is now rectified and is a bonafide USB3 end to end.
Yes I am aware that the worm and drive gears do not have spring loaded adjusters to compensate for backlash, just conventional worm drives like my EQ6-R mount
I’m not considering the Rh version which has on axis encoders for the Ra
My expectation for a future mount upgrade is to carry a heavier payload ( up to 25kg ) , use my current software and guiding out of the box below 0.50 arc sec error, and finally a budget below $10K. I believe this mount can satisfy that expectation. I don’t think I will be imaging at focal lengths beyond 1500mm
Any further advice or comments most welcome
Thanks
