Please review my guide log

Hi all,

Would you please take a look at the attached guide log and tell me where I am going wrong. The calibration went well, but returned the error " RA/DEC Axis angles are too large..etc.

This is an ongoing issue, and I am trying to rule out a motor failure.

Thanks, Bill
