Re: G1 on G-11 refuses to go to bright stars

 

Hi Magnus,

The "interrupted" message usually comes from the user pressing a button on the handset when the system is slewing to a target object.? ?Is there any chance you might have something pressing on a button during the system slew to your target star???

If there is no way a button could be pressed, I wonder if it is possible that you have an intermittent glitch from your hand controller?? To fix that, you might try cleaning the hand controller internal board of any corrosion or discoloration, using alcohol on a cotton swab.? The hand controller comes apart with 2 phillips screws on the back cover.??

All the best and good luck on tracing this issue,
Michael

Hi!

I thought I had posted on this problem before here, but cannot find my original post...so here is a new one.

Problem: My G-11 seems to refuse to go to some locations, that should be unproblematic. For instance: Tonight I cold started the unit, and did a first alignment on Altair. Then choose to go to Mizar, which does not involve a MF and is far from any limits. I get the message **Interrupted**. The same for many stars. Deneb and Vega worked today, and even Mirfak, but still Mizar and Dubhe just gets Interrupted. I managed to do alignment with 5 or 6 stars, and the model seems to be fairly OK, with a polar alignment error of 7'. So how come it refuses to go to a number of stars (about half of the ones I tried)?

And it's got a fresh 3 V battery. Changed today.

Any suggestions?

Magnus
