Hi guys.

Rumples Riot (Paul) produced this review of the Meade Field Derotator before xmas last year. Unfortunately I didn't get time to add it until now (sorry!), but here it is.

Anyone using the Meade Derotator have a problem getting the Autostar handheld to finishing "Calculating...." to get to the final "Successful Alignment" message? When I used the Derotator the Autostar just hung on the "Calculating...." message for over 20 minutes until I decided to shut it down and decouple the Derotator. The Autostar then ran fine after that.

Any advise as to existing issues and/or solutions would be helpful.

Thanks!
