Hi John

Thanks for the comments and suggestion re aggressiveness. You probably guessed (correctly) that I was using CCDSoft and I progressively reduced the "aggressiveness" value from the default of 10, down to 1, in steps of 1, and it only made a tiny difference so I'll have to look elsewhere.

I tried the usual trick of imbalancing the GEM to the East so the gears were always driving against the slightly out of balance load, and that didn't make any difference at all.

Weather permitting, tonight I'm going to try to reduce the guide rate in the Tak hand controller. I think the default is x1 and by flipping a switch from H to N, then holding button S1 and pressing button S4, the correction rate is reduced in steps of x0.1 from x1.0 to x0.1, for every button press…...

And yes, you really do have to make these adjustments by hardware button presses on the Tak mount!

Cheers

Dennis
