Lovely images , nicely resolved with great details
Like you I’ve had my fair share of problems like coma , backlash etc…
I just acquired my new EQ8-R pro mount and will be installing over the next week or so
I’m fooling myself if I guide tight straight out of the box as most folk experience backlash issues up front, all depends on the assembly tech in their factory if he’s having a good or bad day , quality control just about non existent ( why on earth don’t Synta install spring loaded worm carriers !!!!! )
If I could ask how you adjust your Ra and Dec backlash on this mount as Synta or Skywatcher have no maintenance manuals
The only reference on the internet is from the Wolf Creek Observatory site back in March 2020 where he describes how to adjust backlash, looks more complicated than my EQ6-R’s , they were fairly straightforward.
Do you have the older EQ8 or the newer EQ8-R pro mount ? I’m sure the worm drives are the same on both mounts
Thanks
Martin
