Had a play with the mount last night for the first time without any cloud. It is stunningly stable. I thought my belt driven EQ6 was stable and had very little backlash the PMX is far better.

I did a quick drift align as it is something I am very familiar with. I then went to the home position and then slewed to a star and synchronised, the PMX went repeatedly to any position in the eastern sky. It was off in DEC in the western sky no doubt due to the geometry of the scope(s) not being exactly orthogonal to the EQ axis.
