Hey Guys,

Just had a thought, wouldnt this be caused by the PEC? The Period Error Correction kicking in or stabilising the scope?

After a while the mount sort of "syncs" itself up based on orientation and balance/load and this is whats causing the delayed fix? When the tube is pointed at extreme angles, ie when drift aligning, it operates and "feels" different as to when the scope is finished and parked after drift aligning and perhaps the CPU has to "relearn" based on the new orientation etc?

Just a thought, but keep in mind most of these higher end scopes/mounts yell from the mountain tops that they have Periodic Error Correction, and this is what it sounds like is happening......

Could be wrong.....or I could be right?

Chris
