We have had a Paramount MX+ running with The SkyX at our local observatory for about 2 years now, and recently we have started to have declination errors of around 8 deg when pointing after homing from startup. Initially I thought it may have been the model which had been corrupted in some way because of the error that was reported by The SkyX when we tried to sync to an object, but changing to an identical PC we have set up as a backup for our main PC we got the same result, although not immediately as it worked fine for a couple of weeks before exhibiting the same declination error of about 8 degrees.
One of our members who has experienced the problem most feels there may be some correlation with the direction the mount approaches the target position from, or whether it flips on its way to getting there, but we are currently uncertain of the best approach to identifying the cause of the problem so felt it worth raising a query here to see if the symptoms were known to others.
