Cheers Greg.
And thanks for your help.
It's clear again tonight. Think I'll probably have another go!

One suggestion, while PHD2 can compensate for DEC backlash to some extent, it cannot achieve the rapid motor speedup provided by the Nexstar backlash compensation. You may want to give it a try for DEC, though it can backfire when not set accurately. I did this with my AVX, and it seemed to work OK. First of course I would check if the DEC worm can be tighter without binding up.
Adjusting gear boxes should be second nature, I think. Here's a detailed tutorial of someone who reported getting a CGX to the 0.2s. Pretty interesting.Graeme1858 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2023 6:02 pm Of course the other option is to pay someone else to do it! I found www.DarkFrameOptics.com they provide the service and they're only an hour from me.
Yowee!
