Make sure your safety limits are set for your particular equipment and that you are not relying on the defaults. This will make a world of difference.

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?
