Thanks Paul, Michael,and Don for the comments and suggestions. Here are a few responses:
1. I'm using only the HC, no PC.
2. Right! EST - 5 hrs
3. This problem started with my original ver 1.01. ?When I inserted then 1.05 EPROM with great expectations, the problem remained.
4. When doing the original alignment, the movement of the RA axis is only about 5deg from CWD position. When I see it stop so soon, I know it's going to be a disaster.
5. I've tried moving the mount all the way to the alignment Bright Star and the hitting Align, and then doing a GoTo, but no luck. I get either a meaningless GoTo movement, or a message saying that the object is below the horizon. The mount has no idea where it is.
6. I haven't tried the Park suggestion yet. I'll try that ?when I get home on Sunday.
There seems to be 2 problems going on at once. First, it doesn't seem to pay attention to the Home CWD inputs, so it doesn't know where it is or where to go, and second, it shuts down the RA movement after about two seconds. On top of that, I'm not getting all the Bright Stars, but that could be related to problem one.
More suggestions and thought are welcomed!
Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Bob
