    Integration time target
    * Target: 3 hours

An unexpected clear couple of hours gave me the chance to check the recalibration of backlash on the EQ6R Pro which now seems to work nicely having guided at around 0.7"/px consistently last night. By way of as test I shot some 5 minute frames on M64 followed by some flats and flat darks in accordance with my new calibration frames policy of “do it now!”.

More time is needed on this but this is a really encouraging start after the anguish and despondency of fighting with the mount for so long.
