Thanks. I have my camera ra on x. But not sure about east and west. I tried clicking the "data caputred on west button on and off". With clicking the west my PE reduced a little. with it not clicked it got worse. problem is it did not reduce nearly enough. ie it did not take out the PE properly and in fact made things worse than no PE it all.

Last night there were a few breaks in clouds. I did a 30 sec shot with PE on. Looked like sideways logs. turned PE off. and round stars.

Something is just not right. I posted on Bisque forums so will see. I have worked out though that without PEC my mount is actualy within spec. Its about plus or minus 3 right now. When I did first check I thought my image scale was 1.83 but turns out it was .87. So at least i know its within spec. I just cant seem to reduce the PE very much with PEC. I can increase it or reduce it by about .5 or an arc sec but I am expecting it to go go less than 1 peak to peak with PEC and its no where near that

If my camera is upside down, I have to check the box indicating it was recorded in the opposite side of the sky. I'm in the northern hemisphere so what I'm seeing may not apply to the southern hemisphere. You may have to determine what is "normal."
