If the red lights flashes constantly then the power is dropping. If you have 5a supply it is more likely the plug or the adapter causing a flicker. My plug is sensitive to how far in it is pushed , Chinese plugs tolerances are not so good, and several adapter wires have failed from overuse.

The rowan belt should not be so tight it does not have 2mm at least movement in and out and a full 360 degree test should not bind or be noisy at any point. You should just be able to turn the worm by hand with the belt on.

I was always chasing numbers on PHD 2 and with hours and hours I never really got better than 1" rms. After the complete rebuild I managed to get a rough 0.7" rms total, so things have improved quite dramatically even with a very rough PA for now. The graph looks spikey so there may even be more room for improvement as well with the meshing of the worm gear.

Question:
There is one strange thing happening from time to time, the tracking stops in RA and the star drifts away out of range quite fast as well. Maybe the belt is to tight, not sure but if anyone has an idea I'd love to hear it. All the bearings rolled very nicely and there should be no need to think they are jamming...but know knows at this stage?

Thanks for looking
