Steve I could almost garantee that with the right adjustments your poor proforming EQ6 would proform just fine. I remember doing PE run on my mount in the dark old days and it was somewhere about 25 arc seconds Pk-Pk with soul destroying backlash and a crunching sound that can only be likend to a learner driver on their first crack at changing gears.!

I have a mothballed EQ6 which I'll never sell because of it's past performance.

Rob, you could be spot on the fazhissle there. but im not really fussed as its proforming just outside losmandy G11 standard specs... +-5 arc seconds and my guiding at 1200mm FL sits nicely within +-.5 pixels. Happy days mate!

This presumeably writes data somewhere to show where your steppers were at that moment so that when you next load up your PEC it will start at the right point. I've done this when I recorded my PE data via Maxim and it worked ok.
Perhaps you just happened to be roughly half a cycle out of step when you fired it up?
