Hello,
This is for SW AZ-GTi mount in EQ mode with a single camera (DSLR).
With this setup, sometimes I get good goto's, sometimes not that good.
Here's what I got tonight.
Is this because of a bad polar alignment?

Is your setup permanently mounted? Do you use the "Slew To Target" feature in Solver Control pane in Ekos?
FYI my HEQ5-Pro setup is not permanently mounted and I get this all the time after having done a good polar alignment. Nothing that "Slew To Target" won't fix for me. The first few slews are not very good (usually off by a few to several tens of degrees) but increasingly get better during the night.
My setup is mobile.
I did use the "Solve/Slew To Target" . The picture I included was the result of those attempts. Ekos tried but for some reason centered off target.
My polar alignment was bad. 1-2 degrees off. But that's the best I could do.

Beginner's mistake, i guess.
Probably some bolt was loose.
Tonight everything was perfect - tried my new AT72EDII for the first time. Mount alignments were done with ZWO guider/CCD.
Thanks!
