Hi Martin thanks very much! Yes it is quite hard finding reliable info but the very best place to look is the eq8 Yahoo group. (Just google eq8 yahoo). There’s a stack of resources, and plenty of discussion and advice from some very knowledgeable people. I downloaded the adjustment procedure pdf from there. I have one of the old original eq8s so there may be a few differences, but I’ve seen plenty of discussion on these new ones. There may even be a group specifically for the new RH mounts but I’m not sure.

My mount guides exceptionally well in DEC, but rather jumpy in RA which is what I was trying to fix. Ironically, I’ve found that my RA started performing better when I INCREASED worm clearance. So the only true measure is how it performs under the stars. Be very careful and take it slow.

Hopefully the mount performs well up front but yes I’m sure some adjustments will be made. Good luck!!!
