Alex, I appreciate your effort mate.
This is EXACTLY what I have been doing. Like I said, I have been stuffing around with this for hours. I KNOW where the SCP is and what it looks like. I have located it and put it in the FOV. No problems there. I understand drift alignment and all that stuff.
The problem is that there is NO REFERENCE on the scope to confirm that the TUBE IS IN FACT CONFIRMED PARALLEL WITH THE FORK ARMS. If this is not the case, then no amount of wedge adjustments will mean a thing when it comes to tracking.
Because of the curved ergonomics of Celestron housing, there are no straight mechanical parts to check square, level, parallel of perpendicular.
Someone out there MUST know how to fix this. I still have not met even ONE Nexstar 11 GPS owner in person or online. Am I the only fool who bought one?
I'm sorry if I am sounding a bit rude guys. I'm not having a go at any of you and I appreciate your help. You probably understand all too well how frustrated I have become over this.....5YEARS!!!!
Baz.
Gonna go dry my eyes princess and have a big can of HARDEN UP POOPSIE!!!!
Call the WAAAmbulance...
Give me $5.00....I'm gonna have to call international to find someone who cares...
Failing that, maybe I'll have to go to SETI..someone out there might.
