Check for slop by gently pushing the scope in either direction and detect movement before the friction of the clutch is felt.

It may be oscillation due to a loose-ish drive worm/gear contact.
Thanks Jeff,

That is interesting. I'll give it a go next imaging session.

I'm thinking of reinstalling PHD so all the settings I might have changed are changed back to default.
