I think you'll find actual scope movement will be miniscual and you will never be able to see or hear it move.
Thanks robin, from what you say then it might be that it is working, just not sufficiently to cope with the how far out my polar alignment is?

Have you ever used the manual guide menu option, can you see what happens there? I'd just feel a whole lot better if I could make it do something to prove there is some communication going on there?

cheers,

Rob
