I have had occasionally had the issue of a fast and wild movement when doing the Homefind. I personally find it usually done it after a balance or something that may cause it to have a potential position error. As long as I manually homefind after the balance routine I don't have an issue  Being a manual setup there may be other issues that cause it on a permanent setup that I don't come across.
Totally agree in regards to the software side of things, I found Sequence to be really buddy at times, not a software package that I'd trust long term with imaging.
Build quality of the ASA amounts though is certainly top notch. Blows my EQ6 out of the water! |

This seems to be part of my problem, although there was a fairly serious issue caused by the USB drivers that were causing issues with the mount. ASA even sent out a bulletin about it!
Totally agree on the quality - just for laughs, although I've always felt the Losmandy G11 that has served me so well is a nicely engineered piece of gear - compared to the ASA it's a Mustang next to a BMW M3.
