large alignment error with polemaster & mach2
I’ve used both ( borrowed pole master ) and Rapas ( kindly note I live at 13 degree latitude )I found Rapas better because with pole master the star would dance around for the final adjustment Suresh

Declination gets locked
After a nights session , after unlocking the clutches it takes much strength to initially move the dec axis , have no problem to slew or track only to initiate rotation it requires an effort and then

Worm period of Mach 1
Hi , In PEMPRO my worm period for Mach 1 is 382.95 , in phd it shows as 383.05 in PPEC algorithm for guiding . Should I worry about it ? Thanks Suresh Sent from my iPh

Apparent loss of tracking after dither command
Roland !!, Nice to know you use phd 2 for guiding , it’s a vastly improved one now . The only other I’ve used is maxim dl however the former is more user friendly

I found the culprit ; the 10 min unguided has no drift !! So I need to re look at the guiding parameters ! Suresh
