By the way when I say "aligned the mount successfully" the display said "alignment successful". I didn't get the visual alignment that accurately. I need more practice at that. That said I thought it would be adjustable to some degree.

Hello
I was doing some searching for a resolution to the problem I am experiencing with my mount (HEQ5) and noted this thread. I am experiencing the same problem I think.
I went to use my second hand mount for the first time tonight (first ever use of a GEM and GoTo) and it all seemed to be going well.
I am a visual observer so I 'eyeballed' the SCP as I was only testing the mount in my backyard.
The mount star aligns to what I would say is a close enough position. However, when the hand set prompts me to slew the mount to the object the direction arrows do not respond.
When I tell the mount that it has successfully aligned (even though it is only close enough) the arrow keys do not respond as well.
Any suggestions on a resolution please?
