Hi Steve, I'm literally a noob.. I had a celestron NextStar 5SE go to that I used just for visual and struggled with it when trying to get into astrophotography.
I bought the mount second hand and to be honest despite all the issues I've had it still works better than the 5se.

I did a hypertune on it while waiting for clear weather to test it out, I changed all the washers to push bearings.

Last night we had a 2 hour windows before the clouds rolled in and tried it out, I polar aligned and started guiding for the first time.. No idea if the guiding is good or not.. I don't know where was the best place to post the picture of the guide graph to get some feedback on how it's tracking and if I needed to adjust the worm gears even further.

Do you know if this is good guiding? I didn't have a chance to image and test it.
