Hi Ronny, Hopefully someone here with experience can shed more light on this. The same thing happened tonight where there was slight drifting E/W but then it stopped. Sometimes over 15 mins it would drift slightly E then W.
I can only put it down to weight balance on the gears and backlash. It happened sometimes, other times it didnt occur.
Im sure theres a simple explanation for it.

This is a new Scope, only used a few times and I take good care of it so I hope to God it has nothing to do with my Drives. let me know how things go with your observations and I am gratefull for any input into this matter. thanks
