East heavy always bothered me a bit.
There is no East in outer space.... 8^)
Besides, once the mount RA is West of the meridian, a little or a lot, where is your East heavy then?
I fully understand preloading the RA gearing a smidge. But it seems to me that becomes moot quickly as the mount gyrates about.
My RA axis is still a bit stiff, so I balance as bestest as I can.
Can anybody explain it better without using a compass heading?
