It seems very strange, something that was not an issue now is of prime concern.
I will get it aligned again first...maybe the problem has something to do with not being aligned properly...
Interesting that your use of solar rate improved things..I am inclined to think maybe it is something from the controller.
As I said I did use lunar mode maybe it cant reset???
But I am glad I found all this out before trying to set up auto guide cause I would have blamed the auto guide set up.
I would like the mount to be perfect before I introduce auto guiding.
