Motor Controller firmware update has been applied (Ver 3.11 now, delivered with 3.10). Did some more testing and finally have the setup correct. The mount only works in the way setup in the photo below. In the photo assume south is to the right, counterweight shaft aimed down, elevation as per your latitude (mine is 33 degrees). I found that the elevation sticker on the wedge made no sense at all in the southern hemisphere when mounted with this head in EQ mode, so I removed the sticker and turned it around and oriented it to indicate my elevation. You can see I am using a bolt for my counterweight shaft right now. I have to source a longer one (EQ1 maybe). My counterweight does fit the bolt but I'd like to get one with just threads on the end and smooth bore on the rest of the bolt shaft.
One note on Home position, which I could find no reference to in the Synscan Pro software - until I pressed the Hibernate button, then it asked if I wanted to Home the scope. I guess I have become to used to the CGX home sensor and being able to start and shutdown from/to Home.
All good now, working fine.
