I
always slew the scope the way I *want* it to go ¨C i.e. so it will end up in the
¡°right¡± position -.. *Then* I initiate a goto..
?
¡°WARNING¡±..
Try at your own risk.. i.e it is best to manually slow all the way to the
target to make sure there isn¡¯t a reason the mount choose to go they way it
did.. Make sure the scope wont impact the mount..
?
YMMV..

Slewing to target strangely
?
Hello.? Using a G11G.? Three nights in a row I went from a
warm restart at CWD position and entered goto pollux in hand controller.?
?First night the mount turned the RA and dec axes CW and slewed to pollux.
This resulted in a nice viewing position for me. The next two nights did same
thing but this time mount turned both axes CCW. Scope RA turned about 279
degrees and Dec moved CCW to point to Pollux. This resulted in a horrible
viewing position with the eyepiece down towards the floor very difficult to access
even with a diagonal.?
I am puzzled as to why the mount went in two different paths to get to the same
place in the sky.? Any ideas?
