WOO-HOOOOO!!!

All is fixed. I followed the steps above and it is solved!

I turned off DST and set it to +11

And I have noticed that since I took out the backlash a week ago, now the GoTo's are exact centre on screen. That's impressive when you consider that the Toucam is equal to a 6mm EP!!!!!!
I used to be happy when they were in the centre 2/3rds.
So the Backlash reduction worked and now the DST +11 sorted

What kind of mount and hand remote do you have? Mine is Skywatcher(Synta) EQ6 PRO and my remote has SynScan label written on it.
v2.5a is the Southern Hemisphere version of the v2.5. The 'a' denotes Australia.

Yes it has a DST setting, but not GPS that you mentioned.
I have the Skywatcher EQ6 with older 'Skyscan' hand controller.

I wondered that too, but it appears that it was just a coincidence of timing. The backlash removal adjustment has proven to be perfect, and the no DST & +11 fixed it.
