The bearings in that mount are HUGE. There is a taper bearing there that centers it nicely. maybe you could get a little bit out of them but cost vs benifit they fail epically.

The only way you will improve the PE of these mounts is to improve the worm wheel and gear precision. Apart from making sure its as well adjusted as you possibly can get it what you see on that PE graph you wont get much more out of it.

Positive loading I doubt it as i balance with no bias as every time i have done it my guiding goes wayward big time. In saying that I the balancing technique i employ is due to the fact that my axis are not free flowing like that of a G11, but yeah and at the end of the day it would only follow the PE even better and make it worse so to speak.

Oh and some information on the graph, each one of the sections is a 1 minute block. so the PE isn't fast moving which allows the guider to keep up.

Does anybody know exactly how to employ the PEC to the eqmod, because every time i tried it followed PEC curve.... Inverted not inverted nothing mud skippa
