Bugger, another 90 mins of frustration. How come I found it so easy before? Now I do a pretty good Synscan alignment, but straight away the PhD drift alignment graph goes off the chart.

It took ages to level out the first Dec line. But then the altitude line got much worse. So I corrected that, then the RA went right off again! I get so confused after all this chasing, the mount head ends up being nowhere near aligned.

At the end I just could not fix the alignment, even just a tiny adjustment threw off the graph.

I might try to reinstall v2.3.0, I wonder if 2.3.1 is buggy?

I checked my balance, it's no different to before. Pretty good for the design of my stumpy scope.

Are there any other good alignment packages other than PhD? I tried v1 but couldn't get it to calibrate, let alone guide.
