Q for PHD users-especially Eq6 PHD guiding users

Hi all;

just continuing to have problems with my EQ6-now just wont guide in RA, even though it calibrates supposedly ok

I noticed last night that in the calibration steps the guide star moves in W, N and S but virtually doesnt move in E

I have been using PHD guiding for 18 months maybe (with my CG5) and sorry to say that I never noticed if this is normal behaviour- I'd say not but i jus wonder if anyone has been more observant than me

I believe PHD first calibrates in RA(which is the W/E calibration) then in Dec(the N/S calibration) ..so if it is failing to move the star in one direction in RA it could explain my issues-unless this is pretty normal for an Eq6 in which case I am barking up the wrong tree

gosh I am having so much trouble with this EQ6 I wish I had bought something else instead. My old CG5 cant handle large loads-which is why I "upgraded" but in terms of reliability and software was just streets ahead in usability
