Hi Peter
I haven't used the canon But my son uses one on his G11 occasionally. I know he does something like that. Are you controlling the mount from a computer.
I have not used the pointing accuracy Enhancement. I have always used a full polar alignment so I don't really know its effect on other parameters you may be having trouble with backlash. I think you should avoid the PAE as it does not seem to be working correctly. Parking at the Home position should have allowed a single star sync on restart after getting the date time correct. However you seem to have fixed the problem by deleting the PAE.
I am not sure about the stopping. When I go to home the hanbox instructs to turn off which is done via a switch on the HEQ5 access panel. although turning power off at the power supply does the same thing.
I don't know the restore factory settings. I could not find a reference.
Framing a star shold not need the PAE if you have done a reasonable polar alignment. I did a rough polar alignment at Wiruna and a one star sync and my gotos were within 20 arcmins.
