Hi all,

I'm new on the forum but an old star gazer from way back but it was always with someone else’s telescope.
Well my lovely wife has expressed an intrest in the stars and so I have purchased an Meade LX90 8" with a Super Polaris EQ mount that has been modified to run with Meade Autostar Goto system from good old flebay.

Sold as works well it is all in very good condition but the strange thing is that RA is driving west to east so I wonder how the original owner went.

I setup the drive for my location, went through all the other pertinent setup details, started with the mount in the park position and gave a simple task like goto the moon.

It did this without a problem but then instead of tracking RA East West it proceeded to track in reverse from West to East.
Now this may be fine if the mount is facing the other way in the northern hemisphere but not down south here.
I couldn’t find anything in the menu of the Autostar to set drive direction so can anyone help with this little problem.

Ken.
