Not sure how to check the motors being steppers or encoders - there is a wheel on the motor with stripes and an optical reader - if that helps...

Big success - set the third tracking adjustment parameter to -007 - now tracking seems perfect - slight DEC drift (maybe one star diameter) after 180 minutes - no RA drift whatsoever!

I knew this mount could do it - teasing this level of performance out of it was a total marathon! Also on power on my first goto from last recalled position was maybe 15 arc seconds off - now that's performance!

A very happy,

Matthew
