I gotta be honest with you, I would stop before you start with this mount! Shelve any astro photography plans you have for a while and buy an EQ6 Pro. I struggled with mine for years, this problem, that problem, then another, it got very frustrating! With the EQ6, all I have done is take it out the box, and use it. Sorry I'm not being more helpful, but that's the bottom line with an LXD55 mount!!:shrug :
