Re: Reducing DEC Backlash with Titan 50

 

If you have no problem with guiding, then don't worry about what these backlash tests tell you. I've never had any serious problems with backlash with my Titan.

Several years ago, I was having trouble getting PHD2 calibrated, so I went on the PHD2 help forum.? One of the principle developers on the forum said that the Titan is well known to have a lot of DEC backlash, and if I make several calibration attempts, I should always hit the up arrow key on the HC until I see star movement, to knock out backlash before the test begins.

When I began this thread, one of the things I brought up was basically how important is it if the GA backlash test shows huge backlash, yet my DEC guiding looks pretty good?

I think I'll just have to manage it and live with it..... as Scott says, adjust the wing bolts on the block so you don't feel any physical play when doing the windage test.? That's about it.

Thank you.
