Yes Rob I will most definately be ironing out that as my gear is packed away after each session.

The Synscan manual as supplied only partially applies to the 3.27 version. v3.27 has more options in the menus

This is a list of the menu items and some are not mentioned in the manual.

Thanks again Barry and also Rob,
That printout does look diferent to whats in my book I got with the mount. I'll have time to check it out some more tonight.
Now that I have this I will be putting down some location pads in a couple of places as I have a 1/2 acre block with some rather tall trees so it depends on what area of sky I want to concentrate on for the night as to where I setup, north or south.
Didn't think about astro work when I planted the trees 17 years back.

Nico.
