Synscan Problem
For some years I have been running SynScan firmware Version V0327EQ.ssf on my HEQ 5 Pro Mount. I have tried other versions of the paddle firmware but the above has appeared the most satisfactory for my application.
However, it has one problem. When I go to a guide star it invariably requires some movement to centre it. This is a deadly slow procedure when confined to the"normal" slew rate of 2. The SynScan manual (page 6) states "the slewing speed can be adjusted by pressing on the RATE botton. Then choose a number between 0 (slowest) to 9 (fastest)." Very nice, but it has never worked. Can anyone throw some light on this or perhaps suggest another EQ SynScan firmware version where this facility does work?
