Thanks, Wes, Buddy. The pier is standard Orion stock: 07393 Orion SkyView Pro Telescope Mount Extension @ $99 I had to modify the pier very slightly - drilled/enlarged hole in the base to accept align

The pier caught my eye too. I’d love to add one. -- Buddy, County Line, AL Mount: ES EXOS2-GT PMC-Eight Scopes: ES ED80CF, ES ED102CF Guide Scope: ZWO ASI178MM Guide Camera and 60mm ZWO scope

Hello, I see you have solved the puzzle of ASCOM6.5 which I have been struggling with for the last couple of weeks. I have been able to control my EXOS2 mount with the ASCOM6.5 just once! Since then

Voyager Nice setup! Where did you get the pier? I want one!! Wes. -- Wes, Southport NC EXos2-GT PMC-8, iExos 100 ES ED 127, 10" LX200GPS+wedge, Astro-Tech 8" Newt, ETX-90, 60mm no-name guide scope ~

Approximately, 4 months after my first successful ASCOM/serial connection to the EXOS2GT, I’ve finally got my rig setup to the point where I want it, for remote imaging. Unfortunately, now the skies

Joe No Video that I know of. But the principle is the same. Just tear into it and figure out the screws they move stuff around. The worm end play (axial movement) adjustment with the dime will be

No. The bind comes from the pressure the worm places on the wheel. Take a look at Bob Hoskins document in the files section of the main sub group (I think, maybe the mounts). It addresses adjusting

Is that the part and the end of the video? With the dime?

Don It has bind. Do the adjustment. Not backlash but bind. It should bind when you open it up and turn it by hand. You can feel it. Wes -- Wes, Southport NC EXos2-GT PMC-8, iExos 100 ES ED 127,

Yes, perfectly balanced. I also tried with no load. It got better but still grinds rocks around the same position.

Don I presume you are balanced in RA? If you are very west heavy you could be stalling the motors when moving East Wes -- Wes, Southport NC EXos2-GT PMC-8, iExos 100 ES ED 127, 10" LX200GPS+wedge,

So when the RA moves east it starts to grind. West is no problem. Pic shows the position where the grinding starts. How do I "balance" this?

Read all the comments. Sometimes the adjustment with the dime can't be done (it's locked in place.) so you loosen the screw on the back and adjust it there. -- Explore Scientific iEXOS-100 Canon

Wes, Is there a video that shows how to adjust to reduce/eliminate backlash on the declination axis? The RA video mentions it can be done, but doesn’t show how. Thanks Joe

Hi all, I think I found my problem. I had the mount running using the ASCOM 6.5 stuff. There are a couple of things that were funny about it, but I will see if they are due to my excitment and/or

You probably need to do the one at 3:49. And you have to manually rotate the wheel 360 degrees to see where it binds and make the mesh just tight enough. You will have to find the happy medium

Hi Wes, Just to be clear, is the bit I would adjust relating to the video at 5:56 (where he loosens/tightens the worm gear shaft with a dime, or the adjustment he goes through at 3:49 with the 3mm and

Matt Your mount bound where the thing stalled. The mesh of the worm and wheel gear is too tight. You need to adjust it. This video shows how https://youtu.be/mLXE_BMKVAw Wes -- Wes, Southport

Hi Matt, I am using a 22 ampere hour golf buggy battery and have had no problems with my mount. Cheers, Ian Virus-free. www.avast.com
