My woes continue with this 6 month old NEQ6.

Good night here in SEQLD, and the damned mount is slipping in dec.

PHD can't guide with it. At one point, even said DEC calibration unsuccessful, turning off dec guiding! Again, you can watch the stars move in the PHD screen. I have tried Barnard 33, M 1 and now M45, all with NO success. If the telescope is on the west side on the mount, it won't guide. If it's on the east side, it won't guide either. And the lot is balanced.

So, what to do? Send it back to Tasco to replace? I am not pulling it apart unless they send me replacement parts. Or just take it into Sirius and get a warranty replacement?

Tired of this. Second SW mount to do this to me, and I always take utmost care in balance etc.
