Update:
Just for fun, I plugged the battery into power this morning and the damn thing started bloody well charging...what gives!!?!?!?!! Yes, I had the button set to charging. Yes, I had the power adaptor plugged into the wall socket properly, the switch turned on, and the power pin plugged into the battery properly. Yes, I'd tried depressing the fuse switch as well...I have no idea why the sucker is working now, but I'm *happy*.
I'm about to go have a play with the focuser and see what I can manage.
Polar alignment and drift alignment will just be a matter of practice and refinement of technique. I'm still at a lost as to why the focuser won't reach focus at all once the focuser has started to slip.
Thanks once again everyone for help and advice.
Dave
