None of my attempts at resolving this issue have been fruitful with the assumption that the mount is internally aligned as one would expect. Given the Conan-Doyle approach, I’m becoming convinced there is something amiss within the mount. I am not the first owner, but assumed all was good when I acquired it. In retrospect I have had a number of possible issues attributable to the mount, but could not positively identify them. I moved on from the Tak to a PMX and problem solved. But now, given the poor seeing in Laos, the PMX is wasted, so I’m looking to step back down to the EM200.
I have used this OTA with the same clamshell on a EQ6 mount and resolved cone error misalignment without issue.
My plan is to substitute the EM200 with my EQ6 , using same clamshell and OTA to isolate the source of problem.
Thank you Ken for your efforts so far.
Cheers Brian
