Re: Reducing DEC Backlash with Titan 50


 
Edited

Dan, yes, indeed. I have a Titan50 and a G11 :)

The spring loaded adjustment I'm talking about is not for the whole worm block -- it's at the end of the worm block, on the opposite side of the gearbox. It pushes a spring-loaded bearing into the worm, preventing the worm from moving horizontally, side-to-side. It may look like this, below, or have a single slot that you can use a screw-driver or a quarter to turn. If it's not pushed in far enough, the worm will float left to right:

Thanks for responding.? Do you have a Titan?? Losmandy has been telling me that they came out with spring-loaded worms for the G11, but not the Titan.? When I first heard about the spring-loaded worms for the G11, I initially was told that feature was in development for the Titan.? Then, several months later, that went away, and I have been hearing from them that spring-loaded worms may never happen for Titan.

Right now, I'm going to try adjusting up the TVC on the HC.... the Gemini-2 website says that is a built-in DEC backlash compensation adjustment that is available.
