Has anyone found a way to recover? I mean, if you're all aligned and it runs off you're pretty well screwed and have to cal all over again from what I can tell?

Starting to wish the budget would have stretched to an EQ6, sigh.
No RobF, once it runs away I have to switch it off and start over and the thing is that some times when my mount runs away there is no way of me stopping it unless I hit the kill switch.
and it's not just the HEQ5's, I just sold one which was perfect to get my EQ6 pro which has the problems.
I also know it is not a power supply problem because I have a 2.5 amp power supply and also a 17amp/hr jump pack and my mount has played up with both.

Cheers Daniel
