Hey Bojan,

Ah I didn't know that about the Nano.

200 step motor x 1:26.85 gearbox * 32 microsteps = 171840 steps per rev.
one step = 5550 microseconds. so one revolution = 15.895
one step = 0.08 Arc seconds.

That should be correct.

Of course, this is way better than free running DC motor you had before.
Deviation period of 15 minutes you are mentioning suggests PE (in gearbox probably.. what is the rotational rate of motor/gearbox shaft?).
