    I just started using my new StarChaser 3 and AO-X with an ATX-16803. I am able to calibrate fine and it tracks for several minutes but then the status changes from "tracking" to "bump mount" and it never goes back to "tracking". The AO tilt goes from only 1% x 3% for example to 1% x -100% if I let it go on and the star ends up wandering off. If I stop it and start it again, it goes back to normal again for maybe 600 to 700 seconds of guiding before it goes off the rails again.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    The latest, 6.29. Also, is dithering possible now with StarChaser/AO-X?

    I'll ask my colleague @Adam Robichaud to get in touch.
    We likely will want a zip of your settings, including the logs.
