Hi Tom, hard to tell what’s changed in your setup, but I’d at least check the balance in Dec and RA and make sure the additional hardware hasn’t affected the worm/gear mesh.

Hello,
I bought an RA extension and 12" pier extension for my g11.? The goal was to improve meridian flips with my 130mm refractor. I checked all the screws in both components and they are tight.??
Guuding was good before the extensions .3 to .7 I. Both RA and DEC.? Now, DEC is still good, right now it's 0.4 but RA is 1.5, 1.8, 2.2 or more.? Last light after the flip it improved.? Tonight I moved the CW to make it east heavy.? That did not really help.? I have tried adjusting the aggression but that doesn't make much difference (I use an ASIAIR).? Again, the problems started with the new RA and pier extensions.? I hate to lose the first clear nights in two months so any suggestions are appreciated.? ?
Tom
