Thanks guys I'll look into it .
I've been thinking over what you suggested for a few days now John
and there is something a little differant recently I've noticed about my encoder alt encoder shaft in that its a tight fit into its mounting sleeve
,it used to be an easy fit.
I did have a counterweight go for a little slide recently in my mirror box (where my alt encoder is stored I hope it didn't hit the encoder pin ?
Though the tight fit might just be a little surface stuff on the brass sleeve it fits into as it didn't get used much with the wet weather earlier in the year.
And as I've tidied up my cableing recently I'll check all the that and see if I havn't pinched something along the way as well.
It was quite late the other night when this all unfolded, I was convinced I was miss identifing kaus australis through the trees for a while ,
but eventually found the alt encoder angle wasn't holding .
anyway cheers guys I get back to you shortly
