I see I have made a mistake in my terms, I have a direct connection from my PC to the HEQ5, theres no synscan controller, I guess the correct term is EQdirect.
Theres 3 things remaining that I havent tested, replace the control board on the HEQ5, replace the usb to rj45 dongle, replace the laptop.
My feeling is that maybe some USB comms is getting corrupted resulting in the computer thinking the RA/Dec is out of range for a tiny fraction of a second, then that gets corrected almost immediately but with the limit check on tracking gets disabled and isnt restarted, so that tiny moment of corruption ruins your whole night.
Disabling the limit check doesnt fix the comms (I assume) but it mitigates the issue.
At this point I'm just happy to be able to image again.
