Gday Eric
You have an old style 497 with the latest firmware so thats a good start.
I will look at the code today, as i cant remember the exact method used,
but in Polar, some versions allowed you to train on a star
and the code didnt work properly, as it didnt account for the time differential correctly.
IIRC, To correctly train RA on a GEM required it to be in "terrestrial mode"
( under tracking ) first, so that the RA motor is turned off.

ooh forgot. When training RA, you want your DEC to be as close to 0 as possible
to maximise movement in the EP relative to rotation of the RA axis
