TPoint with Losmandy G11

Hi,
I'm finally getting closer to correct alignment of my G11 using TheSkyX's T-Point but I get an initial vertical aspect for the pointing samples, lasting until the meridian flip, as shown in the pic. Is there someone familiar with T-Point to be able the explain what might be out of wack with the G11, if anything?
Many thanks,
Charles

If you look at the model it will tell you the terms and what each term's numbers are. The terms are defined so look for the one with the higher number and what that term represents. One of the axes has some play in it or backlash I imagine. Perhaps some flexure with the scope/camera train but more likely the mount.

Greg.

Thanks Greg,
The model didn't complete due to clouds so I'll try again tomorrow.
