142.07° = 142° 4' 12"
Oops!! that might be my mistake! though I can't enter seconds into the handcontroller, I will try those coords, tho it doesn't seem too far off where my original ones were, but I will try! Cheers mate!

And as for the power supply I'm using the mains power supply with about 10m of extension cord. The power supply plugs into the extension cord. and then there is a box with a 12V power outlet which is connected to the mount. I included a picture of the stats of the power box. Maybe I should check if the light flashes when I move the scope. Never even thought this problem would exist, cheers!

Maybe try putting the scope the other way around...

I don't think it applies to the mount, from all the videos I've watched anyway, I will test it out tho. maybe I'm doing it the wrong way!
