Alignment Problems - Advice please

Hi,

This sounds very similar to the problems I am having.
The scope is a Skywatcher 130 AZ goto
The steps I have tried to align it are
  • Re entered coordinates multiple times for Perth
  • Rechecked that the date and time are entered correctly (the US way)
  • Tried the startup from different positions (SCP; North vertical horizontal)
With two star alignment it goes all over the place, either pointing at a blank spot in the sky or even down to the ground!


There were two instruction manuals with the scope, one for the synscan and one for the AZ goto scope. I am using the AZ go manual now.

I have just tried the factory reset and will try it again tonight if the sky is still clear.


I can't find anything in the handset menu that gives a choice of EQ/AZ.



Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated
