Hmm? yes you are probably right Mark. I had started from park 3 position when the mount was turned on, arbitrarily moved the mount around using the HB while aligning the three scopes and checking out the tracking, guiding, dithering etc Then as I was using Acrux to align the scopes, I just synced on that then did a goto, which was waaay off. I then goto'd back to Acrux which it did bang on and then changed the time in the handbox from 12hr to 24hr and then re synched on Acrux and goto'd again, this time the goto was a little closer but still way off. I turned the HB off and back on and then couldn't move the mount and it wasn't tracking...?

It was late and I was tired so left it for another night to work out
