See if this works

Well this week saw rain rain rain here in Norfolk. So time to try something. A complete dismantle ,clean and rebuild of my LXD 75 mount. I cannot seem to get PHD to guide with my setup. The mount is Balanced the scopes are tight , but I did notice the Dec mount seemed a little stiffer than the RA. Maybe here lies the problem. Everything seemed to go ok it is definatly smoother than it was so I will wait till the stars shine to test. Its now Sat 5th Sept and we still have rain so polar aligning and testing will have to wait. Watch This Space
