I just hypertuned my Orion Atlas EQ-G with the Rowan Astronomy belt kit, replaced all bearings, and cleaned all the worms with degreaser, got rid of metal shavings, and relubed everything. I was expecting my guiding to be awesome, but I would just consider it acceptable. I am using an EdgeHD 8" with the ASI2600MM Pro and guiding with the ZWO OAG-L/ASI220MM Mini combo. I am hoping that some of you can take a peak at my guide log from last night and give me some feedback. I am SURE there is something that I am missing and leaves room for improvement. When you look at the logs you will see a lot of short guide instances in the beginning of the night because I was going back and forth with Calibration Assistant and Guide Assistant and trying to tweak gear mesh. I was having issues with backlack then stiction, then backlash again. It was a headache. But here is the link to the guide log I uploaded. Seeing was average last night. It is possible it was slightly below average earlier on in the night then became average or slightly above average.
