Thanks for the replies and advice, greatly appreciated.
Dam, didn't even think of a low voltage issue, that was definitely the reason for the blinking LED, can't believe i missed that, must of been the frustration getting in the way,
So to answer a few of the questions,
The battery is a 12V 18Ah battery from jaycar

Scope is a Skywatcher Evostar 150ED
Using a 20 mm illuminated eyepiece with the cross hairs and a 2x barlow.
I am trying to use this in EQ mode for astrophotography, i use my Dobsonian mainly for visual use.
Looking through the check list as Martin posted, it appears i have everything done correctly, and everything is balanced and leveled.
The only things i did pick up on was:
The Mount head set to “home position”
Scope and mount set to home position before power up
I haven't physically set anything but all the rest looks to be setup the same.
Might have to look into what setting home position is as this could be part of the issue also.
I have an andriod phone, so might have to look at getting another app for that as Skysafari5 has stopped working on mine this week,
Would Starleruim be a better choice there or go with Skysafari 6?
A bit annoyed also that this app has stopped working.
Also had a look for that app called Solar Polar Align, yet to find it but found this one, but it says it is for the North pole not South.

Thanks again for all the advice,
Appreciated.
