Grease and oil change Triffid Test
After a lot of research on how to regrease the LX200 I have just stripped, cleaned and regreased the gears in the LX200, when slewing to an object it was sounding like a very coarse grain coffee grinder now it sounds good like a very fine grain coffee grinder, when tracking it sounds quiet now.
There is a very slight tracking error in the both the RA and DEC drive when tracking so it looks like I need to train the PEC again.
This is a test image to see if it all works ok.
