Hi Matt,
It's good to see that you are getting good results from your mount.
I have persisted with a Sphinx SXW mount for nearlly 2 years. The large DEC backlash has always been a problem, but with a lot of experimenting (...mainly, setting the Dec Backlash to 95%..) I am able to get good 10 minute guided exposures.
Unguided shots are a different story. I am lucky to get a good shot over 30 secs to a minute.
Apart from this, it is a beautiful, quality, well designed portable mount. Nothing around compares, not even a Losmandy G8 and is why I have persisted with it.
Therefore, I am happy to hear of the NexSxd replacement.
However, if it is just a replacement of the circuit board, do you still have problems with the DEC Backlash which I presume is a mechanical issue?
Great photos by the way.
Thanks.
Ross.
