Back to square one. The adjustments that I made have not changed anything even though the RA axis feels much firmer. I verified that the plungers are correct, redid the 1/4-20 adjustments, and reset the camstop.

Results are attached.

I think I now have very limited options.

1. Pull out all the through the mount cabling.

and/or

2. swap the dec/ra worms

3. ??????????????????? (cry!)

Anybody out there willing to see if their MX mount shows a difference in tracking depending on what direction the slew was in just prior? You wouldn't necessarily need PEMpro to do this. Just collect PEC data with the camera X=RA with PEC on and Protrack off, and compare the amount of drift for 4 min.
