Thanks Alistair
1. Ctrl+3 for synch, check, should have remembered that
2. Mount set up, I did everything the best I could using bubble level (the bubble level in my mount is not 100% accurate), compass and my iphone (compass, inclinometer). I will re-do the drift around the 3 min mark and see if anything happens. I have not saved the synch points, so that may be an issue.
Have not checked mount backlash, so will do that. I did have to tighten the counterweight bar as it was loose and wobbled a bit.
I will post some images soon, managed to get some M42 and more data on Eta Carina.
