Another thought: I've read conflicting reports as to whether anti-cord wrap is in the Skywatcher firmware. Can anyone confirm that it has anti-cord wrap?
The SW Flex Tube GoTo Dob does not have anti-cord wrap built into its firmware. I purchased a 10m long cord to help prevent the dob from self strangulation.

I discussed my pointing issues in an earlier post. I am still willing to work around the errors and when I have the object in the FOV it will track it very well. Object tracking can be fine tuned on the fly with a setting in the firmware and it will reduce the effects of any drift.

Hope this helps.
