hi all,

I have a very small amount of dec axis movement on my neq6 pro, can anyone help me with instructions or ideally pictures to take out this movement, the ra axis seems fine.

much appreciated

I think it'll be section 5 you'll be most interested in.

If you can't entirely remove the backlash one work around is to run slightly polar misaligned and guide in one Dec direction only. You have to experiement to find out which to disable then reverse that after the flip.

Thanks for the link,

After googling the problem, it does seem to be normal, it is only slight but I'll be stripping the scope tomorrow to add an upgrade so while it is off I thought I would look at the mount.
