Bottletopburly Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Good explanation Ron , I did my eq5 before , top tip never unscrew the grub screws to much the lens housing drops out I learnt the hard way , haven’t tried doing the Eq6 yet though I should , mean to check scopes for cone error too .

+RonC Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 I got used to my HEQ5 being spot on from new but I had to adjust the NEQ6 just a bit, job worth doing!! Ron Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I remember when i had my old AZEQ6 i replaced those awful grub screws with M3 thumbscrews. It made calibration so much easier, simple even. https://www.365astronomy.com/M3x8A-Galvanised-Steel-Thumb-Screw-for-Eyepiece-Fixing.html +RonC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
