That was a very informative evening. The Celestron Wifi wedge AUX driver performed quite well when the Nexstar+HC was removed and control was done just using the SkyPortal Wifi module. The system was stable and the RA and Dec errors while still on the large side were as low as 160 arcsec for a while. That is until my AZ clutch failed! I conclude I had two issues, the AUX driver is incompatible with the HC and I had a failing clutch and/or gearbox. Now I get to take it apart and see what the damage is. The mount is 16 years old.
