Hi Guy's
Last night I got 2 hours observing in before cloud got me. In this time I was able to sort out the "Auto Adjust On"

I set Alt ref angle at +090.000. Then put Auto adjust on. I did the alignments and checked a few objects which were very good I mite say. Then went to mode encoder checked the angle it read, +090.640. I did this four times with readings of +090.640 which I got twice and one at +090.650. and one at +090.820. Reason for this reading was I aligned to Vega and Altair.

So with that I re set Alt Ref Angle to +090.650. Re aligned, with "Auto Adjust On" and all went perfect until cloud got me.

All objects fell into the field of my new super 15.5 Ep

Oh reason it showed so close to +090.000. Is when I got the AN system I levelled the scope with a level at 90Deg. I then put a hard stop on the mount so the scope stopped in this position. This is just something I did. I was pretty close at the angle getting the above readings I think!!

So all sorted and I keep smiling with my Argo Navis.

I will keep in mind the advice re alignment Stars

Thanks again Guy's.
