Re: PROBLEM GETTING SCOPE TO MOVE
Hi Todd;
Once had the same problem. First of all are you presetting your scope, that
is, are you polar or two star aligning prior to utilizing the program????
Two, I too had to remove the side studs

Re: PROBLEM GETTING SCOPE TO MOVE
Okay, I ran into a problem..
I have no problem with the mike (if I speak up) or the running of Digital
Sky Voice, but once hooked up to the scope, nothing happened. (scope did
not move, program

Re: polar alignment scope
Yes, I have--perhaps my post was not clear, so I'll attempt to
elaborate.
No, the mount should stay perfectly steady--pointed at some distant
object, with no adjustments necessary.

polar alignment scope
Has anyone got the polar alignment scope truly orthogonal? I have tried and tried, but I feel I am making it worse. What's the trick? Yes, I have read Derek's suggestion, but I was not successful.

Re: Using the polar alignment scope
Todd,
I got a message that I had been added to the list several days ago.
I'll send it to you separately in case for some reason you didn't get
it.
