I admire your persitance, will be interesting to see what diff belt drive makes  |
Well, it is erratic and rather sudden jitter (and there are ~47 or so of them for worm period so I strongly believe this is due to transfer gears, and this should not be present with belt reduction, according to people who install it.. and this can not be smoothed by auto-guider (which is still on my drawing board).
Otherwise the total PE is of course larger, ~32 arcsec p/p (and it is not going to be much smaller with belt, but I expect it to be smoother)
