I will remove the Alt/Az covers and have a look for anything obvious. I do not want to void the warrantee, so I won't be pulling apart the drives. The specs do state that pointing accuracy is 'up' to 5 arc mins, which is an interesting choice of wording. It is possible that my expectations are a little high ...... I will do some more testing and see if I can achieve better performance.
