it's the direction of the guidepulse, but RA axis never stops or reverses

it guides in one direction all?the time. RA is moving in sidereal speed, so guide corrections are either speeding up or slowing down the RA movement. it's never reversing so backlash during tracking and guiding is not a performance issue
