warm restart?

that basically leaves the model in place and assumes you are starting from non-cwd position

it's better at this point if you cold start

Thanks all for the comments, I really appreciate it.?

-? I have not switched the RA/DEC cables since I initially installed the system back in Oct when everything was working correctly.? I did make sure the cable were fully in last night.
-? Time settings and zone is correct for my location in PA; -5 hours.
-? This issue started after I used SharpCap to get a 'perfect' Polar Alignment (that was verified the 2nd night when I reran SharpCap).? I decided to delete my model runs and start new models with an Excellent polar alignment.
-? It was then I decided to do a Cold Start and reentered all my Site Lat/Long/Time into the handheld.? I tripled all the inputed data to make sure it was correct (including the appropriate - signs).
-? Once this data was entered, I changed the handheld to start at warm reset and powered off the system, waited 30 seconds and powered on.? I verified the site and time info still correct.

That is when I tried to slew to Orion (in SE sky) and mount slewed to SW part of sky.

This when I tried the Gemini Software (Which I have used in the past and configured with my site info).? I noticed now that it will not let me input my Site info in the software (either with mount powered on or off).? Not sure what is going on with it.

Brian:? Have not had a chance to read your notes but will look at them today (had cataract surgery yesterday so seeing slightly off right now...lol)
