Hi, group, I'm hoping this has been solved before. I was trying to track on the sun. During the process I realized that to correct for the sun's drift in time I had to use the dec button on the hand control. I assume I'm not the first to experience this. I'm hoping this is a battery problem. Any suggestions?

?

Thanks, Tim.

I checked the basics, I was using the AC power supply.

?1. Time in the Hand Control was wrong on startup and was corrected.

?2. The UTC time zone was wrong on start up and was corrected.

?3. the site's Longitude and Latitude was correct on start up.

Sounds like battery was low and system clock stopped. ?Other data was held in eeprom. Replace battery but probably do a factory default reset as you don’t know what else is corrupted.?

cheers

How good is your polar alignment? If it's very approximate, you may have to keep adjusting DEC to track the sun.
