I’ve noticed that AA+ does something interesting when it returns to the Home Position. It does a little shimmy as if it overshoots the mark and has to go back a bit. So there must be some kind of built-in indexed position it returns to but even so, to my eye, the head is still “off” a bit. I’ll have to try to measure this somehow.
Hi Peter. The "shimmy" does happen and is normal. If you want to calibrate the home position more accurately, you'll need to use the ASI Mount app on your phone/tablet. The ASCOM driver doesn't allow calibration of the home position, only the ASI Mount app does. I did it with mine and it now returns to a correct level position.
