Hi all,

yesterday was a clear night after 12am. So in the session from 12am to 4am, I was able to balance and successfully complete a 3-star alignment via the hand controller.

Slewing to target object was then working out fine however after a minute or so found that the target object would drift away. So I just used the had controller to view the target object again and it would be in my EP. Or sometimes used the directional keys of the hand controller to get it back in my EP.

I guess I have to move now into drift alignment or probably look at a software doing so.

Also, by mistake during my session, I turned off the power to my scope. It was in a park position so no probs in that regards but when Itried to slew to the target again, the target object was no more in my EP.

Do I have to conduct a star alignment everytime ? Doesn't this info get stored in the hand controller with custom settings such as for home backyard, use these alignments ?
