What a great bit of software by the looks, hope I don't need to dive that deep. Thanks for the idea if need be, legend.

Gosh never thought that would be possible haha, all that engineering only to have a sensor with a tilt. I guess the above software would point that out if that ends up the case
Yep a 2" Dual Speed 10:1 crayford focuser. I'll inspect the focuser slop in the daylight and take it from there...might need to mod the crayford focuser??, I do here good things about it though.
