  1. Some excellent suggestions - thank you StuartT and Tomatobro. As I was reading your suggestions one thought crossed my mind and it was possibly I've tighten the mount bolt to tight and I'm getting binding on RA. On DEC I don't have an approachable excuse other than to do as suggested and check to see if I've been overly enthusiastic and indeed have a bent bolt. We have snow coming for the next number of days so, I've time to play doctor. Are you aware of any support products that implement the EQ6 Rail Kit or EQ6 Wedge for the EQ6R Pro? I am probably close to the upper level the mount is able to handle comfortable (WO FLT132, WO Megrez 80, WO Guider, ASI Focuser, ASI EFW, ASI Air Pro, ASI6200MC, ASI290). All the best and thank you Jim
  2. Hi All - I'm fortunate to have a EQ6R Pro that has been in residence for about a year (unfortunately predominately hidden in garage due to weather and forest fire conditions for most of the year). The few times I've had it out, I've failed to get a proper Polar Alignment. I've used all the tools Sharp Cap, PoleMaster, Plate Solving and so on. My main issue has been once I'm within a couple of degree's I can get it to position no better. Fine adjustments on both RA and DEC give cause to jump around. I've watch every video/help show and finally have to admit defeat (hopefully short lived). The EQ6R Pro has the same issues the EQ6 has (with northern latitudes). RA adjustments are just as horrendous no matter how sensitive I try to be. The EQ6 had some tools created for it that one could purchase (RAIL Kit) that seemed to solve one of my issues (unfortunately not available for the Pro). My question is: Has anyone else experienced this and if so how have you addressed it. I'm at that place where I'm thinking on replacing this mount if I can't resolve it and the next step is quite more expensive. Jim Vernon, BC Canada
