Welcome to my astronomy blog, I dedicate myself to the simplest form of amateur astronomy which requires only portable equipment. I have two small refractors, two small binoculars, one small GOTO mount and another small equatorial mount, and a small H-alpha solar filter. Originally from a city where the people were proud of their light pollution, that is Hong Kong where I loved. Relocated to the UK since 2021.

My LXD55: fine tuning and re-greasing - RA body
With the experience I got from tuning the DEC body, I got the whole thing disassembled with 10 minutes. Clean it with the same trick, re-grease it and it's done.
I don't have to polish the bushing on the RA body, since it looked very good at the first place. It explains why the RA axis is smooth even before the tuning process.
Now, the DEC head will rotate downward by gravity when the clutch is disengaged if the counter weight shaft is not installed. Quite easy and the improvement is great.
