Hi Peter
looking at your last month problems you reminded me of my owns from last week. I bought EQ5 SkyWatcher with SynScan - polar scope -to be able to look throu it move RA axis of mount(tube) 90 degree. To do lower than 33 degrees you HAVE TO take out locking bar ( at the front), nothing wrong will happend. Inspite of correct alligmentand all coordintes and time, my GOTO was poiting telescope to wrong directions. After returning back to the shop the problem was in controller itself. Preset to Northern Hemosph. without maniual possibility of changing. I simply got new controller which works perfectly. So many days I've spent re-doing things, thinking I'm doing something wrong. So much waisted time, so I want for everybody else to know what the resolution to that problem might be.
