I've been trying to isolate some issues guiding my C11 on AP900 that look like might be backlash (strangely... in RA). I just re-seated my RA worm (I did this 5 or so years ago). I just noticed that w

I have a Mach2GTO-L which is several feet off center in a 15 foot Pro-Dome. If I go to "APPM/setting/Dome Settings" and select "Active" the APPM appears to assume the mount is at the exact center of t
