While viewing an object in the eyepiece, observe the responsiveness of each of the four
arrow buttons. Note which directions you see a pause in the star movement after the button has
been pressed. Working one axis at a time, adjust the backlash settings high enough to cause
immediate movement without resulting in a pronounced jump when pressing or releasing the
button. The hand controller will remember these values and use them each time it is turned on
until they are changed. For an Alt/Azi operation, 0 step is suggested for both R.A. and DEC anti-
backlash. For an EQ mount, the default setting is 150 for both DEC and R.A.
To set the anti-backlash value, select the Set Up Controller menu and scroll down to the
set anti-backlash option and press ENTER.
