Hi, Thanks again for the reply, appreciated.
Yes, pretty sure i was 100% spot on for the stars, It was near close to a full moon so most of the stars wasn't as bright here which made selecting them a tad easier to compared to no moon.

I am pretty sure it was in that location, i can't say for 100% sure on the exact location though.
It then did as you mentioned, went anti clockwise, and went right past the star Altair and ended up roughly a few degrees before Jupiter, a bit rough i know, but this is roughly where it ended up.

I have had other nights when the unit has slewed over 360 degrees, the worst being once it went about 450 degrees.

I could try it again tonight if it is clear enough, using the same stars and see if i can get more accurate details on how far it slewed?

It is odd that it ended up in two different positions, one position when i set it up facing North and and other location when it was setup facing South.

Thanks again, it is appreciated.
Peter.
