LX200 alignment
Andrew,
I have just been out in the observatory for an hour and a half, though we have totally cloudy skies, just to experiment with the general alignment matter.
First, I did get it to align successfully, and pointing in the direction of Jupiter and then Arcturus. I then put it in park scope, turned it off and back on. According to the LX manual, when it comes back online it should read automatic alignment, then you press mode, and just get on with your observing. However, I did not get an automatic alignment coming up. And could not get the scope to go in the direction it should have gone. When I checked my keypad menu, under setup, align, I cannot scroll through and find an automatic, but only easy, one star, two star, and align on home submenus. Do you have under set up align, an automatic show up when you scroll through, as the manual indicates should be there?
