I mean its clock would progress about 2 minutes over a 20 minute interval in real time. Is this a problem?
Point taken about the focus though; I'll definitely do that and thanks for the excellent advice
You may have to manually set the time to the correct value for a few tries before it starts to behave. Do as the others say a few times until you get the hang of things, and then see how it goes at night. If it's still doing wacky things after 4 or 5 goes at it, then I'd say there's one of two things wrong. Either the encoders on this particular scope are faulty and/or the software is buggy. Either way, you'll have warranty on the scope, so take/send it back for repair.
