Hello Phil,

Thank you for your link to older software versions for the #497 controller, I will log on as soon as I get some spare time.

Recently I replaced the battery on the LNT of my LX-90, I therefore, carried out the usual procedures in the following order:
Set local time/daylight as accurately as possible
Set lat/lon/time zone
Performed Motor calibration and Drive training
Re-calibrated sensor.
Final setting on Sigma Octantis.

I am very happy with the overall pointing accuracy when I setup the scope with the with the automatic align function. I will definitely go back to an earlier software version for the #497 that allows for the choice of stars during automatic alignment. I have found that the two star alignments, although acceptable, is never as reliable as it is reported to be.
