Balance wasn't a factor as far as I could discern. Back then however it could well have been an interplay between the Skysensor2000-PC view of the sky interacting with PEMPros drift alignment. If the SS2K thinks your are even a tad out after a three star alignment it compensates for polar misalignment by running both Dec and RA motors to nullify this.


This can be both a blessing and curse - at it means a complex interplay is in effect when your are drift aligning - is the star really moving or is the SS2K predicting and nullifying assumed drift?


I try and remember to clear any SS2K three star alignment parameters and only do a one star alignment on the SS2K if I am doing any advanced alignment routine.
