Adam,
Thanks for replying
Do you know your AP payload ??
I forgot to mention my EQ6-R mount in Sydney under Bortle 8 carry’s 9kg AP payload ( average guiding around 0.85 to 0.95 )
My EQ6-R mount in my NexDome South Coast NSW under Bortle 3/4 carry’s 15kg AP payload ( average guiding around 0.75 to 0.85 )
I adjusted both mounts for backlash as best I can ( could probably spend more time on fine BL adjustments ) Both Ra and Dec drive belts are ok , not too tight and not to loose , about 3mm of flex
Cheers
Martin
