Looks good - I'd be very interested in plans, part lists etc. or a kit or a finished product

Hi Mick

I've had similar problems in the past, the solutions in my case were (on different nights) making sure that;

The correct cables are properly connected - I tape mine into place with duct tape these days just to be sure.

The mount is correctly selected in the Mount menu - "Ascom" when I used to guide with a webcam via EQMOD and "On-Camera" now that I've got a QHY5V connected to the ST4 port on the mount.

The calibration steps long enough - mine are set to 1200mS.

I only generally re-calibrate if I move the mount to a completely field of view of the sky and I seem to get away with it most of the time.

Hope this helps

Steve

That's really helpful John - many thanks for taking the time to produce it.

Here's mine - M31 - on 8 Aug 2007 - 138 secs (don't know why!?) ISO 1600 using my (still) unmodded Canon 400D through my SW 100ED Pro - unguided on an HEQ5 Pro
