Hi, I just got the bright idea that my AP1200 would handle both my C11 and AP130GT nicely as a side-by-side arrangement (picture Napolean Dynamite saying "SWEEEET!!!)---but when I go to Robin's site I

AP1200-database corruption?
Thanks Joe, I've been called a lot worse than "George". Like when I told my wife I wanted the new 3600 mount! Was your problem due to a weak battery? Interestingly my RA and Dec coordinates displayed
