Hi All,

I am trying to setup PEC on my EQ6, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. When I read the manual it says to complete a PEC run with a reticle giving at least 300 mag. I have a meade ED80, 480mm focal length. Even with my 9mm reticle barlowed i only get 106 mag. Also at 300 i would be lucky to see anything in a 80mm scope.

Is this the reason it doesnt seem to make much difference as i cant see the PE enough to correct it or am i doing something wrong.

(1) Polar align, drift method.
(2) find a star on the meridian at about 20 degrees dec
(3) turn on sidereal tracking
(4) record a PEC run, as per the manual, RA corrections only
(5) set tracking to sidereal + PEC

Thanks
Paul
