Thanks Gary. After some initial frustration tonight with the alt encoder binding again (ever heard a grown man cry?), I soon settled down to some REAL frustration. Anyway, LONG story short, I changed the az encoder direction sense and all was ok again. Again, all tests seemed to indicate I had determined the direction senses correctly, but pointing was WAY out (i.e. completely wrong part of sky). On a hunch I changed the Az direction sense and started getting some sort of reasonable pointing. I guess that means the direction senses are right? I might add I went back to factory defaults at the start of the session. I'll get back out there soon and experiment some more.
Will consider modifying the base, adding a bush, etc. And will definitely get around to doing that daytime encoder test.
