Hi Martin,
Thanks for the info, its good that there's nothing wrong with the mount. So the prob is me
.
I checked the firmware and I think it was 4/11 so I updated it to the 23/11 using the program by Stephen Mounioloux which worked great.
I'll give it another go with the new FW when the clouds disappear.
Unfortunatly I don't have a perm. setup yet,(one day), so its a cold start each time.
Thanks for the offer of help, I may take u up on that.
