Eureka

After much trouble, some self induced, a picture, not great but a picture.
In October last year my QHY8l died, which resulted in sending the camera to QHY for repair (their help system is good and responsive), they could not fix it as the sensor chip had died and the chip was no longer available. So hunting on the web I found one sitting on a shelf at Widescreen Centre, I now have it. While this was happening I inadvertently changed a parameter in Sitech.cfg. My mount no longer functioned.
Fortunately after much discussion with Luas Mesu he was able to retrieve my original config file.. Now all is well.
So first picture for five months.

thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply Rusty.I might have added that my mount is a Mesu mount 200 mk 1. Mr Mesu found the config file on an old computer.He obviously spent considerable time and effort to do this. He is a real gentleman, kind patient and helpful. His support matches the quality of his mounts.
