Hello,

using EQ6Pro- white

I attempted my first drift alignment on the weekend and experienced some problems.

1. I found that the screw at the 'back' is very very tight and once it reaches about 52 degrees i need to use my other hand to hold the mount and take opressue off the system. I did loosen the other screw to give the problem screw room-to-move.

2. moving the latitude tended to move the mount/tripod so that the alignment star shifted drastically. Contrast this to the azimuth adjustment, which is smooth.


I do not want to force the latitude adjstment, and in fact, i do not think I can force it much more.

I notice someone else had added new handles for the latitude adjustment to make it a lot easier but I cannot seem to find the photo anymore.

I am also concerned that my entire setup moves when i change latitude.

Has anyone else experienced these problems?

cheers,
DJDD
