Hi Fra,
thanks for mentioning the tip on stopping the RA motor via FS2 commands!

Concerning Your questionthe AstroElektronik versions page states the following change with version 1.21 (May 3, 2002)translating to "corrected error: incorrect execution of commands :Qn and :Qs".
These slewing commands (north and south) might be relevant for smooth operation. :whistle:

Another problem had been tackeld with version 1.25 (sep 22, 2004):stating that under certain circumstances the Dec motor would trip resulting in a small image shift.

So my conclusion would be to upgrade to the most recent version (well recent meaning version 1.26 dating from dec 21, 2009). Upon request Michael Koch will send You an eeprom with the latest version for small money (used to be less than € 20 including postage within Germany). Exchanging the chip is no problem due to the socket on the "mainboard" that is being used.
