No I haven't measured it yet, K3CCD is supposed to do it but as I only downloaded it yesterday, I have yet to figure out how to do it; but it is significant. Mind you 70% or so of the worm is very good.

Unfortunately unlike the Meades, Pec is not refinable, nor it seems can I use ccd guiding to pec train which can be done with the LX200. The other draw back is that unless you park the mount before removing power, the synch between the HC and the worm encoders will be lost, requiring a fresh PEC training session. It is in this area that I suspect I have problems, maybe I'm reading the manual upside down or something, I'm not sure. Maybe I have more drift (masked during refresh times) than I am aware of, I just don't see how I could be that far out and not know it.
