You think thats embarrasing, it took me half a hour to figure out why i was getting alignment stars that where in about june. being new to the eq6 i didn't take too much notice when i set up the hand piece that the 7 looks awfully like the 1 and that dyam american date system really throws you grrr. Not to mention Daylight savings.

Synscan = Please enter your time
User = 20:32:15
Synscan = Daylight savings
= Yes/No
User = Yes

then you do your alignment

Synscan = Alignment Successful

HAZZAR. Slew to Orion neb. hangon we out in the RA by about a hour :S

redo alignment ---> Success.... same thing. restart input your information (with the right date not 7/1/2009) Same thing.

Synscan = Daylight savings
= Yes/No
user = NO.

HAPPY DAYS.!

Im happy with the goto now it seems reasonably accurate well within a few degrees.

One thing that im unhappy about is the non ability to Sync to nearby stars for greater accuracy and the fact that PEC you have to park the scope and make sure you have no stuff ups or you have to re record the information I guess this is why alot of people eliminate the hand controller and run the EQ mod EQ dir software and then use that to do your syncs)
