First blood with the Zenithstar 61 and this galaxy. I've had some real trouble with the EQ5 recently, so spent a lot of time accessing the problems. Main issue i found was the mesh on the RA and Dec axis worm gears were quite loose. Full strip down and re-grease using some very expensive Harmonic drive grease from work!!!! All the backlash tuned out and mount seems fine. 

 

60 mins total data   30 x  2 mins , 10 Darks,  10 Bios,  10 Flats ISO 1600 processed in Affinity Photo using the stack option.
