Can anyone help me with this?In the pic attached the arrow points to a gear that runs the dec axis.I have been noticing when tracking the scope slips in dec.Depending on the direction the gear is loaded that is the direction the scope slips.Loaded up-scope drifts up.Same if it's loaded in the down direction.Drifts down.I can see that the bottom gear has some play side to side.Is this something I can adjust relatively easy?Any help is greatly appreciated.
