There is now an update to the motor controller firmware to solve the problem of the "spikes" during guiding. ( Sky Watcher downloads section)
Yahoo Groups "SkywatcherEQ8" also has the updates in the files section.
Changes made in the EQ8 motor controller firmware version 2.09:
1. Fixed a bug which might cause random spikes during autoguiding via the autoguider port.
2. By default, use full torque to drive the mount when the motor slews in low speed.
3. Provide the ability to allow the user to choose driving torque in low speed; this feature will be availiable in the next SynScan hand control firmware release.
We would like to thank Hamish Thava from Australia who reported the problem and helped us to test this version of firmware.
