Mike,
I have a UC 22, and I use Sky Safari Pro 7 and SkyFi wireless telescope controller from SimulationCurriculum.com.? Using various clamps, I clamp my iPhone to the secondary ring, and aim it parallel to the trusses and bring up Sky Safari on my phone and I can 'see the sky' in my garage during the day!? I can do a two star alignment and then use the goto functions to drive the scope.??

Hi Richard,
thank you for your suggestions.? I will perform the encoder test you suggested.? I had assumed that backlash could only be compensated for via the configuration program. I am wondering where the setscrews you refer to are on the Alt drive motor - are they external?

I am relieved to think that the Alt wiring and encoders are probably working fine.

I guess it is not possible to perform a goto in daylight without having previously aligned the scope, just to see if any changes have worked to solve the problem?

Kind regards,

Mike
