Dude, your two videos about adjust the backlash on a heq5 pro are awsome. Most people just talked about the backlash caused by worm drive, but your two videos are quite complete. Thanks.

Hi, your video helped me a lot! My guiding is now far better! How to do east heavy balancing? I have heq5 with SW 200p with main and guiding camera plus skywatcher f4 coma corrector. Every few frame i have 2-3 frames with very little vertically elongated stars. Some experienced astrographers said to me that my equipment is little heavy for my mount and said to me that for prolonged expositions can be solved with east heavy technique.

Thank you so much! I have a video on balancing the scope if you have equipment on one side.

Great guide, thank you for this! Just curious: How is the adjustment via the outside screws in part 1 connected to this adjustment here? I now first tightened the outside screws a bit, which already made it better, but then also applied the adjustments shown here as well. Not sure if adjusting the screws was even necessary in this case now.

[@frosthastrophotography]

Thank you! It's a bit trial and error I'm afraid but part 1 adjust the worm gear and part 2 the other gears.

Thanks for this.

Thank you for watching!

[@alangriffiths1432]

I have got a question for you: Do you do the backlash adjustment while you have your telescope on your mount??thank you

[@frosthastrophotography]

Yes, I do, I find it easier since it's secured.

[@Reneclemant]

The way to adjust EQ6 model is similar to this?

[@frosthastrophotography]

Hello! Yes, it's similiar but the EQ6R Pro has a belt drive.

[@Robowarrior834]

How do I know if it’s to close ?

[@frosthastrophotography]

If it doesn't move or is hard to rotate by hand.

[@Robowarrior834]

@@frosthastrophotography thanks for the reply. Until today I never realized to check those gears for backlash.

[@tullyfisher]

to sad you choosed music over the gear sound. - THATs what's interesting..

[@frosthastrophotography]

Thank you for the feedback. I chose background music for sections where the speed was increased. I will make sure to include more real time footage in similiar scenarios and with sound.
