EQ5 Declination solved, still chasing RA

Iceman,
found out what the declination problem is. The second screw is mounted on a bar. This bar blocks the mount from lowering below 40 degrees. The only solution appears to be to remove the bar. But this means the mount is not locked and can tip over to 0 degrees.

Will have to check with the supplier!

Regards
Peter

I would certainly think that not being able to set the Altitude of the mount correctly would account for some, if not all of the errors in the Goto.

What is stopping you from lowering the angle? Have you loosened off both bolts enough?
