Hi
I thought I will add few recommendations here. I had LX90 for 2 years.
It is quite normal for the scope to not show the alignment stars in the viewfinder, this is what I do to fix it:
1. You will find that the position of the scope on first alignment star will be the same each time - if you go through power up again it will point at almost exactly the same part of the sky - take note how much out it is by stretching out your arm and use your hand to see how many degrees you are out.
2. Go to calibrate sensors and when it asks you to centre on Sigma Octanis move your scope (with the hand controller) and try to offset the scope by exactly the offset you recorded in step 1, OK to finish. It will record the offset.
Next time you align it should point more closely to the alignment star - you may repeat steps 1 and 2 to get it to point better if needed.
I find the Magnetic North sensor being affected by steel fences, pipes, reinforcement in concrete, concrete swimming pools etc. This has been mentioned in previous posts..
Good luck
Joe
