I tried swapping knobs between sides to see if the problem moved. As you might expect, rather than moving or staying put it went away

Re: McLennan gearbox PE results
As far as I know that¡¯s what you¡¯re supposed to do isn¡¯t it? Run PHD2 with guiding turned on and then give the log to PecPrep to analyse?

Re: AKS altitude knobs - which washer(s) ?
I got a set of AKS knobs by mistake.
Rather than return them, I did a follow up order of the TKS knobs I originally wanted.
I pulled one of my AKS (Altitude Knob Set) and measured the protrusion of

AKS altitude knobs - which washer(s) ?
[AMD Official Use Only - Internal Distribution Only]
While cleaning up the "scope corner" I found a set of Losmandy AKS altitude lock knobs which I had ordered but didn't think I had ever received.

Re: McLennan gearbox PE results
Hi!
I've looked at the log file both with the PHD2 log viewer and the PEMPro log viewer, and as far as I can see, this is guided data, not unguided. That would mean that this low PE is after guiding,

Re: McLennan gearbox PE results
I get that - I think some of the difference is that I hadn't lapped the
bearing in the further worm block for a sliding fit in the earlier data

Re: Pointing Issues
Yet another gotcha:
I often use a ZWO ASI120 camera for autoguiding. The USB2 models are

Re: Pointing Issues
I agree. I stuck my dirty fingers where I shouldn't have.
About the time I was trying to Polar Align with SharpCap, I think.
I know I am my own worst enemy.

But mine was some errant slew. I was operating remote from my inside Box-O-Rocks. Suddenly it stopped slewing. I went out and found my harness wrapped around the Dec axis. Oy!

Re: Pointing Issues
I don't rightly recall Brian. I think they were in the same area. So much so, the mount did not move much. Which made me think it would be a bad to marginal model anyway.
