But that's just it Barry it is broke!

Hi Barry,
The GPS doesn't work because the scope is in a metal dome. We did try an antenna out the dome but that didn't work sadly so we do a blind two star alignment each morning.

The electronics are playing up. Every now and then the scope just drives off by itself, typically toward zenith but not always.

If I remember correctly (as we've been swapping scopes around so much) we reversed the main dec/altitude gear as it was badly worn.

Not complaining though as the scope is used day and night every day bar two per year.

Cheers
Geoff
