Bob, You might also check that your RA (and Dec) clutch knob is well snugged down. If too loose, your motor may be turning but you could be sliding backwards toward the ground. If I see the target

Great. But even new units can have loose parts. Be on the lookout for such things over time. Your RA drift is technically impossible if all is working as it should. So you have to look for things that

Bob It might be worth doing a baseline guiding so you can that as a baseline metric, including your mount performance It's something i wrote up and we use over at PHD forum as well

Hi Bob, You can look for gear looseness in the daytime (unless you are at work!!!). ....related ideas.... I like to re-tap my Oldham couplers to replace the tiny 3-56 (I think I'd most common, using
