Hi again, so i have just been out trying a few things tonight, sadly to say the same results, and never the same twice.
So here is what i got, using the same two stars to keep things the same.
Setup facing North, tube level on 0 time is 7pm
Chose Fomalhaut as the first star and coordinates were
112° 25.1 E + 19°48.3
Second star Altair, coordinates were 48 NE + 27
Slew went off anti clockwise, past Altair and final resting spot was about 297 NW, so roughly around 111 degrees off.
I then as suggested, selected it to view Fomalhaut, ended up going roughly 15 degrees right of it, although the height was about right.
Tried all this again, this time when it came to rest instead of selecting ok, i slew it back to where Altair was and oked it, Still was way off when i selected it to view Fomalhaut.
This time setup facing South, results were slightly better with the end slew being around 78 degrees right of Altair.
Tried both of these a few time tonight and the results varied greatly where it stopped ( second star) worst being almost as far around as the southern cross.
I hope these figures and write up makes a little sense.
So all up dose this kind of point to the SynScan hand held unit being faulty?
Not sure what else to do or test now, any thought or inputs are appreciated, really at a loss now.
Thanks.
Peter.
