Collimation is pretty good Kevin, and the scope had been outside nearly 1.5hrs last night before I tested the tracking, so I wouldn't think it would be tube currents. Balanced with a little bit of weight against the drive. I was going to do the belt mod, but I won't bother now.
Thank you all for your thoughts.

I would be updating the firmware Raymo, the earlier versions from my understanding have been hit and miss ... its up to V.4.37.03 now!

I've got the "36" version on the v3 handset, from reports in another thread the "37" version is a solid performer.
