Hi folks,

I have an AZ-EQ5 setup in alt-az mode, and picked up a brand new SkyWatcher wifi so I could hook it up via SkySafari. Last night while testing out the wifi setup (rather than handset setup), I noticed after a particularly large slew and a slight bump that manually slewed the scope a little (my clutches don't engage particularly strongly) that alignment went significantly out.

Has anyone had this issue before and have any advice?

Cheers!
Andrew

Nevermind a little more digging in the SynScan app settings and I have discovered the Auxillary Encoder switch, the enabling of which fixes the problem.
