More like "Plug and pray" actually, but that's yer hi-tech for you!
No. 1 suggestion: set yourself up with an auto start battery booster and a 12V power lead to the scope, rather than relying on the internal penlights. Those AA's run down real quick when the scope is slewing and tracking, and once they do, the goto becomes very unreliable (big-time frustration).
No. 2 suggestion: The
NexStar Resource Site is an excellent place to find all manner of NexStar-specific info and support (and IceInSpace you already know about!)
