I sometimes see elongation when callibrating. Not always though. So that is a symptom is something needing adjustment?

It's not TheSkyX - it's more CCDAP->TheSkyX. I think I'm just doing domething dumb. I've NEVER had trouble getting anything to work with TheSkyX.

Well, if the payload on your PME is large, the inertia of the scope may cause the worm to ride up on the gears when it stops & starts - a kind of slop I guess. The spring plunger adjustment instructions say when the payload gets to 100lb then the spring plunger screws should be 2 turns out (pushing the worm against the gear harder), not 2.5, and slew speed should be reduced to 75%.
