I'm finding the AM5 guiding to be great some nights and erratic on others, discounting seeing, wind, clouds, etc. I don't know if there's a mechanical issue with the mount (belt?) or some kind of software issue. Pretty sure my guide exposure time, MAX RA and DEC duration settings are good as is the Calibration step size. Guiding can go from .35"-.45" and suddenly jump up to .9" or even over 1". I have no idea what's causing it, cables snag has been ruled out.
