Re: Altitude slewing intermittent with GOTO command
When I first got my 22"UC, I had a similar issue. My converter was also a 12v 3 amp. I borrowed a friend's 6am converter and it worked leading me to replace the 12v 3amp with a 6 amp. I believe the SC

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

Re: Altitude slewing intermittent with GOTO command
Hi Mike: Please read *Section 7.2 Software Current Limit for ALT over-travel prevention - "Axis Limit"* of the ServoCAT Manual. You may need to increase the altitude "Axis Limit" a bit. BC

Steve, Yes. Average and stacking significantly lowers noise.? I have not used dithering, but I believe you can use them together. I have no need for a guide camera due to the great Mallincam Sky
