I have recently purchased an AZ EQ6. Three times now during an alignment it will continue slewing in declination passed the selected object and hit the tripod. The only thing that stops it is to cut the power. I have a stable 12 volt supply, levelled the tripod and balanced the equipment. Now I have updated all software including motor controllers - I wish I hadn't as I now cant compare it to older software. I cant remember if it was during a polar alignment or the other alignments when the issue occurs. The last time it did it I was aligning on Alpha Centauri.

I have to take note more closely when it happens ie which axis, which alignment and star.
