Eager to try out my new lens, and the mount's star alignment function
started giving impossible, ludicrous read outs again. Got down to a minute or so, and the next iteration said I was 16* 32' off in Az and
6* 22' in Ev. Tried a different pair of stars and just got more rubbish readings. Another whole evening wasted. I wish I could afford to throw this mount on the tip. Looking back through my log I find that 17 days
is the longest run I have had without something playing up since I bought
it several years ago.
