Hi all,

I set it up as suggested and turned the GPS on using the hand controller and it all works well. The first time it took quite a while (approx 30 minutes) to get a GPS fix on the position (the time came fairly quickly). Now that the GPS has it's bearing in the world it is much quicker in getting a GPS fix (order of 1 to 2 minutes).

Now I am having problems with getting it aligned. I guess that is one of the draw-back of getting a German Equatorial mount that you have to point it at the South Celestial Pole reasonably accurately every time you set the scope up.

Regards,

Leith
