Maintenance


 

Hi,
?
My mount tracking has been rock solid for a while now but I moved my guidescope up the mount to avoid a bigger EFW and things have been worse since then. I don't think it is the guidescope move so looking for advice.
?
The indications are :-
1. in PHD2 movements in Dec seem to go weird (walkabout to the Ozzies on this Topic) and then come good - all this after a Calibration run.
2. when parking at CWD the scope ends up at ~2am and stops there - says parked and tracking off.
3. Sometimes getting PHD2 error - Pulseguide command to mount has failed.
?
I have rebalanced my mount/scope and cleaned/sprayed all cables. Any further suggestions on this and I do leave the mount out overnight under a Telegizmo 365 and I do get a little moisture on the mount. The temperatures here only get down ~40 overnight so I expect it is not temp related. I am thinking of replacing the cables and opening the Gemini-2.
?
Appreciate any suggestions?
?
Thanks,
Ken
