Hi Niv,

Just a quick question ...

When you used the arrow keys to centre your target, did you then use the handbox to re-confirm the object?

I'm speaking from my experience on the LX200, but what I do is this (after your regular 2-star alignment of course) ...

Once you are happy with the position of the desired object in the eyepiece, you press and hold GOTO for about 2 seconds. It will ask you to confirm, so you press it again, and it tells you that it is ok.

That's how I align on an object on my scope anyway. I do it as a force of habit now. Every adjustment with the arrows keys gets a manual update from me.

Good luck - I hope you get this sorted.
