Ok looks like I need to tighten up the AZ steps encoder and check its all fitted well. Well post on update, many thanks for help. We are getting somewhere
Good sleuthing! Keep working on it. My GSO 12" solid tube with a rickety base (which I had tightened up and braced somewhat) was got to a stage where each encoder returned within one count in 10,000.
