Can I diagnose mount issues with software?

Hi all,

Last night I had one of those nights where nothing went right. I had mount issues (AZEQ6) where it wouldn’t align (plate solve) properly and got Dec errors during guiding calibration.

When I could get guiding working the total RMS was never below 1.5-2 and this was with proper balancing and a dialled in polar alignment.

Before I pay for a service on my mount, I wanted to see if I could diagnose the mount myself and was wondering if there’s any software out there that could run some tests and provide a report. I know PHD2 does something like this but was hoping there was something that provided a comprehensive set of test results.

Cheers

Rene
