Hi all. I know this thread is a little old but just bought the AZ-GTI. I'm having issues not with the goto (not tried that yet) but just with tracking. I'm running the mount in AZ mode. My coordinates are accurate. I can centre on a star & the drift is crazy. I'm using sidereal but within 10 seconds, the star has drifted out of view, the drift (star) is to the left & up. I've tried sidereal, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25, all the way down but I can't keep the star centred for anything other than a 2nd or 2. I've also tried with the encoders on & off - same issue. Should I be able to just manually point at a star, engage sidereal tracking & then stay centred - even for 20-30 seconds?
Granted, I haven't done North/level but thought that would only be needed for Goto?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi all - just got my EQDir cable and have it working with the synscan pro app on my laptop. Maybe a daft question but are there any keyboard shortcuts for the app on windows - e.g slew left/right/up/down? I've tried the std arrow keys but don't seem to work. Just thought the control would be "finer" by using the keys, rather than clicking on the button in the app.
Thanks.
