Worth a fiddle. There is a setting in Maxim to change guide movements in RA as you get further away from the equator based on your DEC. Might be related to that somehow perhaps?
Thanks Rob

I am not using Pinpoint - I haven't the required real estate on my hard disk to download any charts. I have been using MPO Canopus to plate solve as I have those charts on the lappy - pity I can't use the same charts.

Will investigate the differential guide rate. My thinking though is that its a calibration setting as when calibrated it guides fine.
