Thanks Russell. i was really pleased with the detail, and it does look like if i can get this tracing issue sorted i will pull out a lot more detail in the new moon.

i just had a thought that might be consistent with the issues i am seeing and the fact that it is not corrected by PEC, could it be that the gears are not properly lubricated? this comes to mind because a few times when i haven't used the mount for a while, the first time i start it up it squeaks a little as it slews, it goes away quickly but if the RA worm is sticking then that could cause the issue ...
