Ryan,
Any reason why you wanted to update the Synscan software ?
My SW 12” Goto Dob is 5years old now ( Synscan version 4 ) and works fine, there’s no need for an upgrade to V5
I have read folk on CN having issues with updating to version 5
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it , that’s the advice they gave
A friend of mine recently bought an SW 8” Goto dob and wanted to tighten up the Altitude motor drive as this model does not have external clutches
He spoke to Graeme Almond , QA , service and support for Tasco Sales ( Australian Agent for Skywatcher ) and he sent information on how to perform this work.
Hopefully Graeme may be able to help or advise you regarding Synscan upgrades
Email:
returns@tasco.com.au
Hopefully other IIS folk chime in to to help you
I have 3 EQ mounts with Synscan and 1 AzAlt Dob with Synscan and unless the handcontrollers die on me I’m not going to touch them or upgrade them
Good luck with it
Martin
