Rotate the declination axis - how?
Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2024 1:06 am
Hello, in a typical balancing of the telescope, reference page 34 of the NYX101 Manual.
Starting with the NYX101 in an EQ Home position, power off.
Step 1, instructs one to "From the mount’s initial position rotate the declination axis only to 90 degrees (figure below)."
To move the mount to the illustrated position - do I physically grab the NYX's dovetail saddle and manually turn the saddle by hand and use of personal strength?
There is a significant amount of resistance there.
And after step 6 - would one power on the NYX101, and use Unity to return the NYX101 an EQ Home position?
Thanks for the clarification.
