Hi Andrew
Thank you for your response.
My scope is in Alt/Az (no wedge, just the standard mount)
havent done a drive train
I will boot the system up tonight and get the firmware version
yes, after putting the 10mm, i did have to use the slew keys. I think I used the digit 2 or was it 4. Dont know what speed that comes out as
Once I had changed eyepieces and used the audiostar to retarget mars, i used the slew keys to get mars in the center. however it just went through the field of view and out. I must have waited another 5 - 10 seconds to see if it came back into view but it didnt so I used the slew keys again to get it into view. All the time, while I wasnt doing anything, the motor in the mount was buzzing away, guess it was doing something but not the right thing?
If it makes any difference, I saw mars go from bottom left of the scope, diagonally to the top right. From memory, ACF/SCT have their left/right reversed so that would mean that mars was in actuality moving right bottom to left top, which would be what was actually happening. Does this mean that either my mount was not doing anything or wasnt fast enough to counter mar's movement or worse yet, it was going in the opposite direction to mars movement? (sorry too much caffeine.. cant think straight.. am uttering gibberish.. will end now)
thank you
