Well if it isnt the feet are too big to fit then you also have the mandatory weather patterns moving in as soon as you purchase anything new or get to a point where you want to set up again
. I just spent over 3,000.00 on a new imager plus a side by side saddle for my EQ6 and here comes the weather lol.
Hey, I signed up here just because I ran across your post about balancing vs backlash. Wish I woulda found you sooner as I just adjusted all of the physical backlash out of both axis' on my mount a couple months ago.. it runs smooth now and doesnt make noises that it used to make and its only got about 60 hours or so of run time (1 year old last month).
Anyway, I didnt see anyone steer you towards the EQ6 yahoo group?
This is probably the premier place for EQ6 users with any kind of problem you can imagine. Please join up! Every little problem I have had, and it hasnt been many but, these guys have been right there within the day with the right answers, or.. I have found my answers in old posts as someone else has already been there done that
They are very helpful
