But Telescope base arrived back here today just out of the blue, surprisingly a week after the phone call.
So what they have found is that the motor unit on the base was faulty, pretty much what everyone here was guessing.
So they have replace the entire base, motor unit.
Now just have to wait until the weekend to try it out to see how things look as i am on a night shift roster this week.

looking forward to getting it back out again and getting it working.
Appreciate all the information and patience everyone has had with all the questions along the way.
It is appreciated.
Peter.
Good news Peter!
Disappointing that it has taken so long.
Hope all goes well from here.
At least you will be well trained in best setup procedures by now!

Good news now,
Finally got a nice clear night last night to set everything up and see how it went.
Everything work out just as it was suppose to, selected the first star, then picked the second star to align to and it went pretty close to spot on.
Just for a quick test i then got it to go and find a few planets, Saturn and Mars, it slew around found them also, not far from spot on.
Have to say i am extremely happy now it is up and running.
A bit of fine tuning and i should be well on my way.

Once again, i have to say thanks to everyone for the help and support, appreciated.
Thanks.
Peter.
