I have a new to me EM200 Temma 2 Jr. Can a bad computer cause the mount to track poorly... any suggestions determine if that is the culprit?

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

The computer should not affect the tracking, just the goto slewing and accuracy. The mount will track without a computer. Have you tried that yet? If it tracks fine without the computer and poorly with the computer, then I retract my first sentence wink

The usual causes for poor tracking are poor voltage/connections, OTA balance problems or clutches not tightened sufficiently.
