Hi all,

I just followed the Astro Baby guide (Step 5) for adjusting worm/worm carrier position and successfully removed freeplay in my RA axis. It's a quite straightforward procedure: 10-15 minutes for the adjustment, being careful, then an hour or so to thoroughly test RA operation afterwards - no binding or grinding detected at all. Everything worked beautifully and now I have no discernable backlash/freeplay in either axis. The mount operates more quietly now, too.

I highly recommend the procedure if you have any noticeable freeplay.

I was generally happy with the mount before, but now I'm very happy.
