Hi,

This is the PE of my EQ6 Skyscan after a rebuild, you can see the PE is approx 20 arc seconds overall, the blip and then end was me bumping into the mount, this was taken over two gear cycles.

Looks like Polar Alignment is slightly off... slight upwards drift..

I suppose PE is OK... smart arse.... so when it comes to it do you want to strip & rebuild my mount for me... :-) - The sinusoid looks very smooth & repeatable...

Good job - John
