Re: CWD position RA an Dec figures


 

Thanks all. I¡¯ve just had another stab using Michaels instructions. All the times, lat long, mount type, polar align etc are correct.

first slew using Gemini to Vega, right kind of direction, but it seems to stall on the handset stating ¡°centering D¡±. I exited from this and tried Mars, which the mount skews to completely the wrong direction and nowhere near.

So switched the mount off, cold started again and went to deneb. This time it did finish centering in the hand controller, but was still someway off. I did cheat and use the air to plate solve and sync and after a couple of goes of this cycle, it¡¯s up and running.

So my question is, is the first goto usually some way off (not even in the FOV of a 340mm scope?)

If not, am?I missing something obvious? I love the mount, but it is taking a little while to try and get it up and working for me unfortunately?


thanks
what am I missing??
