Your'e welcome Paul , I think it's a must to update the software for these cameras.everytime I have done so they just get easier to use.
Beren, I found the same problem with Guidedog and to a lesser extent with K3,
I use the Meade software and don't have a problem as you do get the longer exposure mode with the Meade software, you are stuck using the default exposure time with Guidedog.
Mick I just re- read your'e last message and are you saying that even with a bright star in the FOV that you can't see anything?
If this is the case there are a couple of things to try.
Some of the first LPI's had cable problems, the way to tell is point the LPI at a light sorce and see if the image on screen changes, you should see it go from black to white.
Focus, it can be hard to get proper focus.
Try using a 6 or 7mm EP on a bright star and this should get you close, at least close enough to see the out of focus star. I pull my cheap 7mm back about 5mm from being fully inserted and this is almost perfect focus.
Failing that point the scope at the moon and go through the entire focus range, but the 6/7mm EP should do the job.
regards
David.
