I did a factory reset ... no luck. I also tired a regular Cat5 cable, as some posts mention the curly cable at fault.

Mmm ... so not so likely something I've done ... that's a glimmer of good news, ok, will play around some more. Thanks for the uber quick reply!

Other thing I noted, when I do get past the error msg, and I go into 'Show Position' ... it's all over the shop, RA and DEC bounce around like madness, at first I thought Earth's orbit was off axis and gone crazy but the sun didn't seem to waver, haha.

Will let you know if anythign works. Thanks again!

P.S HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It's in one of the submenus on the handset.

My QHY5 (similar to the Orion) plugs into the autoguider plug on the mount not the handset. I thought that input was for software upgrades.

9/10 times though it's the curly cable from handset to mount that's faulty.

good luck
