- 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 |
hi Chris,
I believe that is purely an AZ mount only. So you need to be sure the firmware is an AZ firmware only (some firmware is EQ and AZ) I think this is the right one
