I dunno Peter - that's all MaxIM seems to do - it continually checks, but the movements readouts are saying 0.00 in both axes, except once every 7 to 8 minutes when I see it make a small correction.
PHD2 keeps the centroid continually within 0.5, usually MUCH less (0.25 or less). RMS is VERY small with this mount.
I dunno the settings - it just works! I let PHD2 decide what, and I use default in MaxIm.
I have had this mount completely apart - polished worms and spurs, regreased, fiddled with meshing for hours. it just plain works right, with stuff all effort. I had to tear it down again maybe 3 months ago after NIL use for 4 months, as the first time out I found slackness in Dec and RA - hence the remesh etc.
I will try to make a graph tonight IF the weather holds - the dec and RA traces are essentially flat, on the smallest measurement scale.
