First, Robert I have been aligning EQ mounts for nearly 50 yrs, and never had any significant problems until this mount went crazy about 9-10
months ago. It has driven me to despair. First the hand controller failed. Got a new V.4 one, and Chuckywiz kindly came down to my place with his gear. We checked everything known to man, and
discovered that the dovetail bar was deformed, giving me a HUGE amount
of cone error. Fixed that and tracking was pretty good. Happy camper.
Went out tonight, and gone crazy again. Giving impossible error
readings, and has now started beeping in the middle of every slew.
The V.4 is not supposed to beep at all, and it didn't until tonight. It wouldn't star align either; every time I went to the second star the first one was gone from the list. I tried about 8 or 9 different pairs, and then gave up.
Hey Kevin, now I've got that off my chest; PS, forget it. As I said to someone in another thread my short term memory is shot. I would have
to work from written instructions, what fun that would be. I just have no idea what to do with that mount now.
