All I can think of is to make sure the SakSafari App is set for current time and location. Also, make sure the proper settings are in for the AP mount.

Mach2 issue: noise from dec motor housing, potential free screw inside
Just a suggestion, Andrea, but take some photos as you do this. It will help Roland assess things and document your efforts. Best of luck in finding the problem. Don Don Rudny Pepeekeo, Hawaii.
