Doesn't that mean I [often] won't find a target? Those errors are too big IMO, so this could be a side effect of the firmware issue.
After reading up I'm now of two minds: Do I accept the firmware situation, do the fiddling and keep the scope, or do I return it? One reason I chose Meade is there long experience in the business and their reputation. I expected the ETX-90, havng been around quite a few years, would be a fully sorted and stable product. Wrong!
A troubling concern is I could load new firmware but come up against a bug further down the track that misleads or fools me. After all the main reason for this scope is to learn and enjoy. Fiddling with firmware on a brand new product is not enjoyment!
I assume you own an EXT90 Andrew? What firmware are you using? Do you have a list of those known "bugs" ?
cheers
