Hello again.  I am back trying to calibrate my guiding with a brand new mount, an iOptron CEM70.   Like previously on my old mount, I went to PHD calibration assistant, then told the mount to slew to the equatorial zenith, then pushed calibrate.  It went through all the steps and then reported that the results were not so great, and to repeat the process.  I did and got exactly the same result.  So, I am attaching the logs here, can you tell me where I am falling short?  The guiding did in fact start and after a minute or two, to me, the lines didn't look all that bad.

I am not sure your equipment setup is correct. your calibration shows three steps in each direciton

Your log indicates you are using a 2600mm as your guide camera? Doesn't sound right to me

I suggest you re-do a new profile via the wizard and make sure the correct camera and settings are in there
