Re: Slewing to target strangely
Hi George Are you doing a warm start or a warm restart? After starting up, try using the hand controller buttons to just move the mount to point to the eastern sky (assuming that is where pollux is)

Re: Slewing to target strangely

Re: Slewing to target strangely
Thanks, Paul. I'll check the safety limits though I haven't touched them in months and months.

Re: Slewing to target strangely

Re: Entering HIP Star Coordinates Using Hand Controller?
Ken I was looking for a strueve reference and it's not on stellarium. I was looking for a website that cross referenced all or most. Sometimes you find the reference, sometimes not. So after searching
