I re-ran a 80 star alignment with MaxpPoint on my main SCT - it says 14 arc seconds too West and 3 arc minutes too low.
Now that 3 arc minutes too low surprises me after the hours and hours I've spent drift aligning - so that could be mirror shift in the SCT.
I plan to repeat the alignment run on the side-saddle 5" MAK once the skies clear.
Another interesting factor - pointing before MaxPoint run was around 3 arc minutes - with Maxpoint 1 arc minute - but the error is all along one axis - like a sausage - maybe indication of slight slop in the DEC gears still?
