Raymo what version of Synscan software are you running on your handset? And have you upgraded that from what has worked previously? There have been some recent threads dealing with errors alignment in V3.35? When you say nonsensical readouts what does that mean exactly, do you have an example?
Secondly, what happens if you test it with the 8" newt? I am thinking that the 80mm might be too light to properly load the drive (and push the tripod down on its points), and keep slop out of the alignment. Has anything changed in your mount set up like tripod placement? I know my NEQ6 needs to be pushed down to get the leg spread right before I put on the spreader, Just trying to think of possble causes.
That 80mm refractor will be much lighter than the newt and you will probably have had to extend the tripod legs to get the EP height up for the refractor; so if you have extended the tripod legs significantly it won't be as stable, expecially if you have less weight on the mount. Did you extend the legs? Are the clamps tight? Do you have a weight you can attach to the centre lock bolt to pull the tripod down on its stops? Check the tripod first I think, as it's all about that base.
