Well I did more drift alignment until I could see only RA drift - no DEC drift at all.
Well when the scope is pointing straight up - I see no RA drift, when its lower to the horizon - it seems like 1 arc minute of drift per 30 minutes.
Well I checked by GPS co-ordinates and tried running everything off DC power (a Celestron 17 amp hour power tank) and did this with no PC or auto-guider connections to the hand controller.
So I have a few things extra to check -
1. Is RA too fast both East and West?
2. If I lower the hand controllers Lattitude adjustment will this slow down the RA rate?
3. If I switch to Polar unaligned mode - with just one star selected will RA be correct?
3. Same as above - but do a two star align and try adding a small delta to the RA - will this slow down the RA?
Also I found there is both a SkySensor2000-PC and a SS2K Yahoo group - where folks have seen my situations before.
So I hope to progress matters further!
