CEM40 EC Review Part 3
The process was as follows. First I did a Polar alignment using the CEM40 iPolar capability. Next I initiated the PHD2 alignment process and, after guiding had started, I initiated the Guiding Assistant with the Measure Declination Backlash box checked. I pressed Stop after this ran for a little over 2 minutes. This immediately started the Declination Backlash test which ran for a few minutes and then stopped on its own.
The result was that PHD2 determined that NO Backlash Compensation was required! A very satisfying result indeed because eliminating backlash problems was why I purchased the mount in the first place.
Hope this is useful for you.

Re: CEM40 EC Review Part 3
PHD2 measures
The guiding I've achieved so far definitely corroborates that
I found it interesting that there is not even a provision in the CEM40 EC mount to enter any
Again I hope this is helpful.
