Where was it pointing when trying to calibrate, at the SCP or somewhere else. Usually it is recommended to point to the meridian on the celestial equator before beginning calibration.
I tried pointing at Peacock in the North East and the Celestial pole. The reason fir these choices was only that I didn’t have the counterweight bar attached and the system was way too heavy to not use one.

All ready for testing tonight. Software updated, counterweight on and balanced and set up in a more favourable location although Nundah is about 18 on the sky quality meter and there is a moon too.
