I set my outfit to take shots last night for 2 hours, came back and found only 5 of the 5min images okay. The next two are smeared with star trails and then the last ones are of a completely different part of the sky where it seems to have stabilised.

Its a AZ-EQ6 and running EQMOD and PHD2.

My guess is that the clutch slipped, possibly because it was so damn cold (it was around 0.5 degree when I went out to pack it all up and there was ice on stuff).

But I'd like to check if anyone else has had this sort of thing happen to them before.

I gather the ubiquitous EQ6 has a similar type of clutch. I did check the RA dial after parking and it did look like it was a little off, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not (I always begin a session with it lined up).
