How to TUNE your SkyWatcher EQ6R mount - Easily! Works on HEQ5 Pro, EQ6 Pro, Atlas EQ-G, Sirius EQ-G

Original instructions (probably much better than mine, as I am fairly mechanically inept!): http://www.astro-baby.com/EQ6%20rebui...

Today I wanted to get my main workhorse, the SkyWatcher EQ6R, tuned as well as possible, to get rid of backlash as much as I could! And it turns out, it's fairly easy to do - let's have a look at this video! Please make sure to check the comments for any corrections offered by viewers as well, and read AstroBaby's guide linked above!

This also works for the HEQ5 Pro, the EQ6 Pro, the Orion Atlas EQ-G, Orion Atlas II EQ-G, and Orion Sirius EQ-G.

Go slowly and gently! Your mount is your friend :D
