Chris,
Sidereal is ALWAYS on with this mount, as I always do a 3 star align at boot up. I also always make sure tracking is on.
I received some information from another NEQ6 user experiencing the same issue, and it MAY be an issue with a dll with PHD guiding, as Chris Stark addressed this issue precisely apparently (I have not found it on his site yet). He suggests to delete a certain dll, letting the program rewrite it at fresh start. Just to be sure, I downloaded and installed the very latest PHD as well (2 months old).
I really am not sure it is a PHD issue though, as the mount does regress quickly even with PHD exited.
John, I am running a dedicated DC supply as supplied by Steve Massey - he knows his stuff, so I am certain the power supply is not at fault. I will check it too though, and even try the setup from the old jump start battery setup.
Terry, I think the dec does continue - seems to be some hum in it. Not the usual RA sound I m used to - there is definitely an additional noice I noted last night - a high frequency sound on top of the high freq pitch of the RA.
Going to be a lot of trial and error...
