Phil, if you have a large scope like I do then that's probably flexure. With an EdgeHD 14 on an ME I was getting about one arc second per minute of time drift in RA. It was flexure. Turning on ProTrack made it (appear to) stop. Quite impressive. Sounds like ProTrack is NOT working for you. That's not good.

Thanks for the feedback. I will be doing some more testing with a larger T Point run. It will be interesting to see if that makes some difference. This run didn't cover much of the sky, it was only 20 or so points on each side of the meridian also it was very Southerly. I am using a Plane Wave CDK 12.5. I wouldn't have thought there would have been a lot of flexure in this OTA with its carbon fibre tube.

I hope you do not need to replace your Baader tube.
Did you have a chance to do any more testing last night?
Phil
