s there a clock chip in the CP that might be
battery driven?
There is not a clock chip per se, so upon startup the mount must receive an accurate clock time. Once it receives that it starts an internal timer that keeps time until power is removed.

Ray, and all ... is there a clock chip in the CP that might be
battery driven? Mikko's error made me think of that sort of failure.

I thought I'll give an update to this now after a few weeks. I've
learnt that if I click both the unpark the mount (even thought the
SGP unparks the mount automatically) AND resync the mount time
from PC, everything works fine. If I don't do this the first slew
might be off. I have no idea why this is other than it seems like
the mount does not necessarily always initialize without these
procedures.
