1. Not sure my results are good (or good enough).
2 .I'm running an OAG, does focal length change your rms in PHD??
Shooting with 335 & 1626 focal length. The rms seems to be better on the shorter f/l, but is it?
3. I hear that at 1.0 or less total RMS is good enough for astro photo.
? ?Is that true?
Some one in the forum said that loosening up on the dec and ra clutch knobs helped tracking.
I tried it and it seemed to help but I haven't tracked enough to say for sure or if I want it to be.
My tracking on dec was a lot better than ra but after loosening up, ra is better then dec. Did I go to loose on dec?
It almost seems there is two settings on the clutch knobs. One for visual ( tighter) to stop pushing on the mount through the eye piece. And another for photo to (lighter) help with tracking.??
When I had the motor off, I would turn the gears like you were adjusting the worm gear with the scope and everything on the mount, to check the balance.?
The mount would jerk if the weight was to light.
4. Does balance affect tracking, east and change when tracking west very much?
