I'm afraid "Aperture Fever" had set in so I am waiting for my Meade LX-90GPS 8" to arrive next week  ..can't wait! I'm glad I purchased from a reputable retailer, and hope I made a good choice.
Anyway I don't want to blab too much, just want to say hi  looks like a friendly forum and will be posting lots of questions. |
Wellcome to Icinspace.
I had similar proplems with my ETX but I did a re-calibration of the sensor.
My reasoning was that the magnetic north is 12 deg off and a calibration on sigma Octance elimitated this.
My scope works fine now and points to the alignement stars within a few degrees. (Don't mention aperture fewer, I just bought a 16" Lightbridge!)
