G11 woes continue

[Hagar (Doug)]

David the easiest way to set the RA limits. Using the hand paddle move the mount West until the mount screams at the west limit. Manually move the mount to where you want the limit to actually be then using the hand paddle move back to the east away from the limit and it is now set. You will have to move your mount back to the 00 polar point and using mount params set your park position.
All done.

Serve you bloody right.... Denigrate the beautiful G11 and don't take time to read der "bible".... Zis is NOT an EQ6, its ein complex mount und it needs respect !!, patience !!!, tenderness !!!! und ya !... a little bit of fondling on occassion...

Acht und himmel!!

well i checked the cables again, and then pulled everything apart again and replaced the cr2032 battery, put everything back together, manually moved the the whole setup around no power, to check the balance again then lined everything up - the moment of truth - turned it on - cold start, GPS updated perfectly, then even though i have not drift aligned i sent it to the moon - slewed perfectly - go figure??? mozzies are horrendous at the moment and the cloud has moved back over but will try later to drift align the mount. how frustrating it was - i have no idea if it was a cumulative thing or if it was the battery? i am relieved and very very happy it is now working. el draco i printed the manual - still havent read it

That's great news.

Now, I expect lots and lots and lots and lots of posts from you in the deep space forum.
