Hi Stevie, I bought from new from FLO. It was bought with the mod included. Thanks for the tips, will test rotations etc.. There doesn't appear to be any binding. Thanks, Aaron

Hi Stevie, Yes that makes sense and although I know opening the clutches once PA and moving shouldn't cause an issue I was wondering if this was indicative of why my guiding isn't great. I get periodic spikes and I thought could there be a gear ratio issue or slippage causing the spike. Which in turn results in the park position also slipping and after hours of this is magnified when returning to park?

Thanks Carole Once I complete my PA I manage everything from the ASIAIR remotely so I assumed it would end up in the same position. You have me thinking though if it may be a gear ratio issue that it's step is slightly out or slipping.

Parking from the ASIAIR. Once I achieve a PA I don't touch the mount, from there everything is automated.

Hi Stevie, Surely once you get a tight PA touching the mount to release the clutches is a bad idea as it can move the PA? Steps I've tested to recreate: Turn everything on. In the ASIAIR open the mount and go to home position (just to verify start point). Perform a PA Slew to target (after a correction it gets there.) Slew to any target and it works fine. End of my session (I know its not required) return to home position. This is when it's seen. Settings for location and DST are irrelevant since I'm using the ASIAIR. I autoguide every time so I think that correct any inaccuracies but I'm wondering is that hiding the issue and explained why my guiding is glitchy? As explained I have an NEQ6 and with the same setup it works perfectly.

Yes I do a lot of imaging and would be very familiar. Started in home position. Have tested, go to home before polar alignment and still does the same. When I perform a PA and initially slew to target, it is not on target and has to correct a good bit, but after that everything is 100% accurate for switching targets, plate solving etc..

Potentially, I didn't know one existed. Any way of testing this?

Hi, I have a HEQ5 with the Rowan belt mod. From day 1 of using it I found after a good polar alignment, at the end of my shooting session when I choose return to the home position, it hugely over shoots home. Any idea why this may be happening? I also found guiding to fluctuate a lot. I also have an NEQ6 which in comparison is night and day.
